About Me

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Designer by day, Illustrator by night! Originally from Oregon, I am now based in Sydney, Australia.

I love drawing comics, dabble in writing and am currently working on my cosy fantasy comic, Side Quest, which you can read here!

As a diagnosed Autistic Artist, I want to help shine a light on Neurodiversity and help create a positive impact for Autistic children. My aim to is portray strong lead characters who are Neurodivergent; how they learn to embrace what makes them unique, as well as help others who are bullied for being “different” or struggling.

My hope is to share stories that will help diversify Neurodivergent Voices within the kidlit world, as well as bring a message of inclusivity.

My stories are for children and adults with Autism, or anyone who has ever felt “weird” or bullied for being “different”.
