About Me

Hi! I'm Lauren

Cozy Art, Comics & Design

I am a designer by day, cozy artist by night! I love drawing comics, dabble in writing and am currently working on my debut cozy fantasy graphic novel, Side Quest, which will be published by Allen & Unwin in 2026! As a late-diagnosed Autistic artist, I hope to shine a light on Neurodiversity and portray strong lead characters who learn to embrace what makes them unique!
