Lara is a creative professional based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She helps design experiences that both look good and are simple and delightful to use. As a design chameleon, Lara has helped deliver creative solutions for brands large and small, from print to digital to user experience. With over a decade of experience in visual design and user experience, she's looking to use her design thinking skills to further optimize products to balance business and user needs.
Young at heart, she is naturally curious about the world and learning new skills. Her playful personality is oftentimes reflected through bold color palettes (hence the url). When she’s not working, you can find Lara exploring all nooks and crannies of the Bay Area, searching for hummingbirds and untouched sand dollars, roller skating around town, and sewing up her next fashion statement.
