About me

education

Honors anD achievements Skills

work hard. Play hard. Be awesome.

I’m passionate about creating unique, innovative products for kids. I’m in the constant pursuit to gain new skills and become a better designer. When I’m not designing, I can be found drinking tea, playing my ukulele, or binge-watching netflix.

Putting it all together La u r e n l e a r n s t o s e w


quick ‘n dirty prototyping Used bristol paper and corrugated paper board to figure out the design dimensions and patterns


r e ad y. s e t. s e w. Made multiple muslin prototypes to work out design kinks before moving onto the final materials Problem: Bottom panel wouldn’t collapse

Solution: Added 2 strips of interfacing

Problem: cutting mat caused support panel to collapse

Solution: Added corrugated paperboard and interfacing to make the panel more sturdy


i’ve got blisters on my fingers Final model sewn from 1000D Cordura, 200D Oxford Nylon, and Nylon webbing

Along the way there were some casulties

Wa l t e r t h e W e a r y W h a l e stuffed animal


Sick kids are no fun. They’re grumpy, uncomfortable, and full of germs. Grody to the max. Let’s design a stuffed animal to cheer them up and stop the spread of germs!

stuffed animal and a tissue holder! Woah!

With his baggy eyes and weighed down fins, Walter the Whale looks just as miserable as your sick child feels. Walter’s soft plush and unique personality will help comfort your child. Crypton Super Fabric and tissues will help prevent the spread of germs!
