Hi, I’m Lauren
I am a writer, literary artist, and storyteller. I write because I’m enamored with language. I also believe that sharing stories fosters deep connection. Check out some of my published pieces here. For my most recent updates, check out my monthly newsletter, The Madrigal, hosted by Substack.
In addition to writing, I’m also a faculty member at Parsons School of Design, where I teach students how to balance writing and research with making and design.
What I Think About
Nuance, intuition, rest, pauses, paper texture, surprise, honesty, poems, thunderstorms, curiosity, death, equality, balance, em dashes, contradiction, rhythm, syncopation, uncertainty, touch, black holes, relative truth, handstands, cold water swimming, Lucille Ball, 90s movies, Himalayan art, songs on repeat, drum lines, blue jays, and how often I should update this list.
