The heart behind LAUR

The heart behind LAUR Creative Studio began with a simple desire: to have a space where I could share my creative journey. Over the years, my art has taken many forms, starting with hyperrealism in Prismacolor pencils, then moving into oil painting, photography, and digital art. Each medium has shaped me in different ways, and while it’s sometimes hard to choose just one, I’ve come to see LAUR as a home for all of them.

Today, LAUR Creative Studio has grown into more than just a personal portfolio, it’s a full-service design hub. I collaborate with interior design firms, contractors, and homeowners to create photorealistic renderings, material decks, mood boards, and sourcing guides. I also provide styling services and support clients with social media management through content creation, feed design, and strategic content calendars.

Beyond interiors, I serve as Lead Designer at Progress Punch, a marketing agency where I specialize in branding, illustration, print design, and creative consulting. This work allows me to bring visual cohesion and personality to brands across industries.

And at the core of it all, I am a painter. Painting is my passion and the practice I always return to. Themes of light, color, and faith are woven throughout my work, reflecting my love for beauty and my hope that viewers experience that beauty too.

Whether you’re here for custom artwork, branding and illustration, or interior design visuals, I’m so glad you’ve found your way to LAUR. This is a space where creativity takes many forms, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
