Hello!

I’m Lauren Alane Richardson, a graphic designer and artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the owner of Lauren Alane Design LLC. I’ve been doodling, drawing, and designing everywhere and anywhere since I was old enough to hold a crayon. Nothing brings me greater joy than to lose track of time as I work on a drawing or painting.

Since earning my BA in Graphic Design and Studio Art in 2017, I’ve worked on marketing campaigns for dozens of children’s books and adult nonfiction books, illustrated two children’s books, and published one book of my own.

My art is inspired by nature, animals, and humans' relationship with the Earth. Space travel and life on other planets are common themes in my work. I enjoy the juxtaposition between the everyday and the surreal, and creating playful and otherworldly scenes. I work in a wide variety of mediums, including silkscreen, drawing, watercolor, and digital painting.

Besides art and design, I have a huge passion for animals and animal rescue. I have a hairless Chinese Crested dog named Finnick, aka Finn, who can usually be found sitting on my lap while I work. He has an endless supply of sweaters so he can stay warm during our frigid Minnesota winters.

Please feel free to reach out if you would like to work with me! You can email me at lauren.alane.design@gmail.com.
