Profile: https://flows.cv/lauren

I'm a product and visual designer, writer, and speaker based in Seattle, with work featured in Fast Company, Forbes, and NBC News. As a designer, I've led launches with Google, Adobe, Samsara, Code for America, and the World Resources Institute—designing tools for inclusive maps, accessible content creation, safe physical operations, equitable tax systems, and land restoration. Currently, I'm a Staff Designer at Adobe, focusing on enterprise collaboration and GenAI for Adobe Express. Throughout my career, my design work has made millions of addresses, routes, and businesses visible for the first time in Google Maps history, resulting in 100M+ MAU; returned over $90 million in tax refunds in the US; secured high-value enterprise deals in the physical operations sector; and increased funding for reforestation across South America and Africa. I've spoken and taught on design and storytelling worldwide, connecting with leaders, designers, and writers from over 40 countries. As a writer, I'm the author of 'Tech Without Losing Your Soul,' a newsletter and interview series offering human-centric analysis of the tech industry. I've also moderated live events and interviews for UNFINISHED Festival in Europe and The Skin Deep, an Emmy Award-winning YouTube series and creative studio.
