Hi, this is Lauren // Lo
- born and raised in Queens, New York with roots in St. Catherine, Jamaica
- studied computer science and interaction design at GWU
- interned as an experience strategist with Code and Theory and then moved into freelance design (ux/ui +product +production)
- i love making collages with paper, digital tools and video
- favorite foods -> eating is one of my favorite pastimes so i have many favorites, top 3 are a good kbbq + anything soupy + saucy + jamaican oxtail
I’m looking forward to making tangible projects that can be easily recognized as my work. I enjoy making things that have cultural resonance and encourage some form of storytelling. I imagine the things I have made exist in a carefully curated world and i’m excited to use this class as a way to expand on that. I have less interest in the creation of soft products. As someone who has avoided learning how to sew for most of my life that is where most of my apprehension lies. It is exciting that my first sewing project will be to make a plushie.
