Meet a design student day: LaurenLikes

Category: Uncategorized

Ok, so you don’t particularly need to meet me as such, I’ve been blogging here for a few months now. But I haven’t really spoken about who I am, what I do and how I consider myself as a designer.

So lets start at the very beguinning. My name as you know is Lauren, as of writing this I’m 21, Welsh, currently studying in south west London (Third year and terrified) and I’m obviously female.

I’ve lived in London for almost three years now, and had the incredible luck to work with some fairly well known companies (I’m currently working on a brief set by design studio G.H.B. which is both terrifying and amazing.) But personally I find that larger design companies lack the relationship that smaller ones have with their clients, it’s sometimes difficult to understand the clients needs when you’re not directly working with them, but rather with a company liaison. United Design is to date the friendliest company I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and would love it if they gave me a job. Hint.

As a designer I’m very process led, I’m happiest when up to my elbows in sludge trying to work out ‘What happens if I do this?’

(For the record, never mix P.V.A. and washing powder, it creates something I like to call Dino-snot.)

I enjoy working with materials, not just necessarily computers. and I find sometimes that designers often forget that the computer is only a tool, a medium, and not always the most useful device. Good ideas create interesting design, good software doesn’t necessarily generate good ideas.

So, I guess I should show you some of my university work?

For this project I worked with artist Owen Thackeray and blacksmith Gavin Fraser

This project was a collaboration between designers Anette Valle (model) ,Kasia SniegockaPegah Redjai Sani and myself.

And my personal work?

My personal work revolves mostly around gift giving, I enjoy making things that other people love, I do this for weddings mainly. But I also make beautiful things on commission…

Paper wedding cake wreath made as gift for bride.

Paper Wreath made for commission.

I like to keep myself busy, tending to work on several projects at once As well as working for university, various competitions and submitting to galleries I also write for this blog, keep up with twitter, have my own Tumblr and I am writing a thesis on ethics in Graphic Design (titled ‘With Great Design comes Great Responsibility’. Thank you Spiderman.)

Phew, no wonder I haven’t had time to bake recently…
