About Lauren
She has built the business,
not just consulted on it.
Lauren brings a diverse combination of creative, entrepreneurial, financial, and business management experience to SLC Site Studio. Throughout her career she has worked across graphic design, branding, sales, marketing, product development, and management.
She previously worked alongside her father building and operating a product manufacturing business. That is where she learned what it really takes to move an idea from concept to finished product: developing the brand, creating the marketing materials, and bringing products to market.
Her creative work spans graphic design, brand development, packaging, and promotional materials, turning concepts into professional visual assets a business can actually use.
For the last several years she has worked as an Enrolled Agent specializing in tax resolution. That work has given her a deep understanding of tax matters, business financial organization, client management, regulatory processes, and how to navigate complex financial situations calmly and correctly.
At SLC Site Studio, she brings these experiences together to help clients move from ideas and challenges to organized, actionable solutions, whether that means establishing a new company, developing a brand, bringing a product to market, improving business processes, or getting financial and operational matters in order.
