Hi there, I’m Lauren! I’m a self-taught, front-end developer from Anchorage, Alaska; now living in Blacksburg, Virginia. I’m driven by relentless curiosity and a love for designing imaginative digital solutions. If you’re a CliftonStrengths person, you can read my report here .
Since 2016, I’ve been building the web for Virginia Tech, currently in the Office of Innovation and Partnerships . I’ve completed award-winning work in K-12 and higher education, including the Anchorage School District, Georgetown University, The Catholic University of America, and The Augustine Institute.

Outside of work I’m an avid hobby collector. You can find me tending a heavily-modded Stardew farm, crafting, or writing; usually in a cuddle puddle of two underfed cats and a pittski .
Lauren has a rare alchemy of creative vision, technical ability, and collaborative spirit. She always finds a way to say yes—to ideas, challenges, or new directions—through smart and strategic problem-solving. Her holistic thinking is invaluable, and her end-to-end perspective offers clarity and cohesion to every project she engages. Working with her is a joy; I’d partner again in a heartbeat.
