Lauren Hom: Design Pioneer, Hannah Schock

Communication Design: Design Pioneers

Self-made hand lettering artist Lauren Hom is living the American Dream – doing what she loves, having fun, and getting paid to do it all.

Senior Honors Theses

Graphic designers have many choices when designing and communicating with words which can be seen throughout history. Hand lettering techniques have been used for centuries to record information.
