Her work at LCAD centered around creating 2D Concept Art for characters, creatures, props, UI/UX, graphics, and merchandise designs. After graduating, Lauren joined Requiem, a Fantasy Café, where she specialized in creating promotional ads and merchandise for store and collaboration events with Altus’s Persona 5, Fangamer’s Undertale, and Viz Media's Homestuck. ​ Transitioning to Asombroso Tequila and Knucklenoggin Whiskey, Lauren expanded her skills into graphic designs for marketing consumer goods and poster illustrations for merchandise. She collaborated with social media content creators to develop sponsorship opportunities for advertising, crafting original cocktail recipes for social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, as well as mass email campaigns.
