WELCOME TO MY WORLD...
ART AND DESIGN USED TO MAKE PLAYFUL AND POWERFUL IMAGES THAT FILL OUR LIVES WITH MEANING AND CREATE NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR HOW WE INTERPRET THE WORLD
hello! my name is Lauren Hahn.
I AM A JUNIOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PURSUING A BFA IN ART AND DESIGN WITH A MINOR IN UX DESIGN. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT ILLUSTRATION, GRAPHIC DESIGN, and UX DESIGN.
My creative journey started in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, where I began drawing and painting from an early age. I always had a deep love for aesthetics and creating imagery that made people light up with joy. Now, as a junior in college, I still draw upon my inner child to make whimsical and fun art and designs. I am most excited about publication design and illustration, poster design and illustration, creative branding, and web interfaces, but am always looking for new ways to enhance my design knowledge!
