about
me

Hi my names Lauren McCarthy! I was born and raised in Montreal and have a huge passion for design and illustration. I’m about to graduate from Graphic Design at Dawson College, but I've spent the last 3 years working as a freelancer, helping people with their branding, with a big focus on working with small businesses, charities/ associations, and women. I love working with bright fun colors, and also having fun with illustrations on branding, logo design, and packaging design.
