Graphic Designer. Photographer. Visual Storyteller.

I'm Lauren Schaardt, and I have and always will be a creative.
I am currently a sophomore at the Univesity of Nebraska Lincoln, majoring in Graphic Design. In design, my special interests are package design and branding and identity. I am most proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign.
On the side, I am a photographer, and I have a passion for portraiture and lifestyle work. Design and Photography are my two main creative outlets, and I am always looking for ways to combine the both of them.

Design allows me to build worlds through color and form.
Photography lets me capture real ones.
Moments, light, movement, and meaning.
Together, they shape the way I see and create.
