Various design and branding projects

Lauren Smith is the best designer I have ever worked with in over 30 yrs of working with professional designers. He is a deep thinker, problem solver, always delivers on time and his work always exceeds my expectations. I’ve hired him for projects ranging from branding and logo design to book design, advertisements and web sites. I give Lauren Smith an A+ on all projects and have probably referred him at least a dozen times. Everyone agrees his work is of the highest caliber. And he’s a great person to know - integrity, sense of humor, intelligence and commitment to fine work.
