About

Lauren Nagy is a graphic designer and artist living in Morgantown, WV. In 2011, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design from the WVU College of Creative Arts. She has designed for both higher education — as a Multimedia Specialist for the WVU Alumni Association and the John Chambers College of Business and Economics — and advertising agencies, working with clients in healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing. 
In addition to design work, she has a passion for colored pencil illustration and chalkboard art and has freelanced for local restaurants and apparel companies.
When not designing, you can find her taking pencil to paper (or iPad) working on her latest creations while streaming on Twitch, hitting the running trails with her husky, Roxy, or enjoying a good book with a strong cup of coffee or craft IPA.
