Hi, I’m Laurie

an Artist, Muralist & Freelance Graphic Designer in Los Feliz // Los Angeles, California

Lauren Jane Studio is a freelance art & design services studio founded by Laurie Berger in 2018

Laurie specializes in art commissions including paintings, murals and illustrations as well as creative graphic design projects including brand identity, packaging design and surface pattern design.

Laurie received her BA in Art from UCLA. Her design work is informed by her foundation in art with an expertise in color and composition.

PAINTING PRACTICE:

Laurie continues her painting practice in Los Angeles with large works of color and composition, revealing her process through lively mark making evocative of midcentury abstract expressionists. Her artwork hovers between abstract and figurative, with her palette and gestural lines capturing a feeling and state of mind within her compositions; emotional, energetic, and thoughtful, permeated by Los Angeles sunshine.

ART COMMISSIONS:

Laurie works with businesses, interior designers and private clients on painting commissions and custom murals. Laurie creates moodboards and presentations for her art commissions, utilizing both her art and design expertise to ensure mutual understanding and creative collaboration in order to achieve her client’s desired feeling in a space.

GRAPHIC DESIGN, BRAND IDENTITY & PACKAGING DESIGN:

Before launching Lauren Jane Studio, Laurie designed in-house for fashion and tech businesses, most recently as a Senior Designer at Pinterest 2015-2018, where she art directed and designed strategic creative campaigns and partnerships with global brands. She now freelances with brands and agencies to design bold and colorful branding and packaging work infused with illustration and character to inspire target audiences and lead categories.

SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN:

In her free time, Laurie illustrates psychedelic 1970s-inspired fabric prints and branding for Laurel Canyon Tennis Club, an innovative LA-made activewear brand she cofounded which charts a new counterculture subcategory within the conventional world of tennis apparel and its boring mass market options. This side project provides the enormous experience of running and marketing a niche business, giving Laurie valuable knowledge and insight into her branding clients’ minds beyond aesthetics.
