Recent Work

With over 35 years in graphic design, I’ve been working in design since before the start of the internet and even before the personal computer came into play. Seriously.

Most of my work lately has been WordPress websites. I enjoy working for small businesses designing their websites. Please see the Portfolio/Websites page to see these websites in detail with the ability to scroll to view further down the page.

I also love doing other design work. I have extensive experience doing logo design, brochures, catalogs and newsletters, and branding. Have a look at my other Portfolio pages to see work from my career.

Laren has been amazing to work with! We hired her to help with some in-person marketing events. She designed beautiful landing pages that converted and set up all our email responders. What a relief to me to have someone take care of that for me and really run with it. Laren and her superior communication really gave me peace of mind so I could focus on running my business.

Laren Watson is a graphic designer with depth in creative and client management skills. I needed a website refresh and she listened closely to my “what, why, and when” I needed. And she provided a very easy “how” to get it done. Laren is easy to work with, a consummate professional, and a realist – all things that come with being an expert. I highly recommend her graphic services.

Laren asked the questions that helped me to know how to communicate the passion in my business and her expertise in visual interest and graphic design have made my website both professional and personal to draw and secure quality customers. She was organized and expedient in delivering a draft for approval, followed by a free exchange of ideas for tweaks or changes. It was a very low stress and fruitful process. Thanks, Laren!

About Me

After graduating from The University of Oregon in 1986, I started my career in Boston working for a small environmental design firm. I had a lot of fun there but ended up missing the West Coast.

I moved to LA where I had even more fun working for a small ad firm and a couple of entertainment design companies, working on video packaging for MGM, Paramount and Sony. 

Yet the Northwest was calling me, so in 1992 I moved to Seattle and have felt at home ever since. I immediately starting working in the Creative Departments at software companies Aldus and Adobe Systems, eventually going out on my own. 25 years later, I now work on one project at a time, splitting my time between that and my family, gardening, and cooking.

And just in case you’re wondering, Laren rhymes with Karen and does not have a u. Have a lovely day and thank you for visiting!
