My name is Laura (like louder but lou-dah).
I’m a London-based news designer at
The Washington Post, where I create
and art direct illustrations for stories,
curate social media posts for our IG platform,
and develop visual identities for
various interactive newsroom projects.

Out of working hours, you can find me
at my local coffee shop in north London,
sketching on a bench at the nearest
park, or people watching at a play from my
very affordable seat at the back.
