About / Beyond the brief

Behind the marketer

I’m Laura, a marketer who likes to ask questions, connect ideas, and find better ways of doing things. I combine creativity and commercial thinking to design brands, campaigns, and systems that make a difference.

Outside of the day job, my creative work tends to involve books, storytelling, digital and hand lettering, or a Cricut crafting project. You can often find me upside down (handstanding) or learning something new - whether that's philosophy, neuroscience, or fitness related.

Bookish by nature

A storyteller at heart, I work with indie authors on book projects and am forever inspired by stories and tropes.

Eternal learner

From new creative skills or handstanding, to marketing tools and new subjects, I am always on a mission to challenge my brain.

Details matter

I will point out the slightest font inconsistency - I believe small things make an idea feel considered, from a line of copy to the final visual finish.
