OUR TEAM

Lauren Cooper, Creative Director & Owner

Blender’s fearless leader, Lauren brings her fine arts background and a keen eye to every project. Specializing in illustration and logo design, she has earned a reputation for blending creativity with strategy to deliver standout visual identities. A proud graduate of Appalachian State University, Lauren is passionate about staying ahead of design trends, ensuring Blender’s work is always fresh and relevant.
