ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lauren a multi-hyphenate creative with a passion for crafting impactful experiences that improve people’s lives.

​

I began my career in London as an Interior Designer at renowned architecture studios, where I developed a strong eye for detail and design thinking. I later went freelance under my own brand, Otella Studios; managing projects from concept to completion and collaborating with diverse teams. This phase sharpened my resilience, adaptability and love for bringing ideas to life.

​

Seeking deeper human connection, I transitioned into social care as an Operations Manager, supporting vulnerable families and leading a team of 30. This role deepened my leadership, communication, empathy and reinforced my commitment to people-centred solutions.

​

After exploring my skills across design and care, I found a natural next step in UX. It’s where my creativity, empathy, and problem-solving mindset align allowing me to design thoughtful digital experiences with purpose.

​

I’m collaborative, curious, and driven by impact. If you're looking for someone who brings both heart and strategy to design, I’d love to connect.
