Lauren went to school in NYC for costume design.

When she finished, she found no one was beating down her door job-wise.

She had many elaborate scenes found within her imagination…

…and decided to express them in a way that didn’t break the bank.

By making tiny worlds.

She threw up a few of her creations on Etsy and when people snapped them up it surprised her.

Pretty soon her hometown newspaper was clamoring to get a story.

Then she woke up to find out she was in the New York Times.

She hit the “circuit”, meeting other miniature conventioneers ad customers purchasing her creations.

Her love for research and reproducing authentic historical documents and other pieces…

…extended to helping with an Escape Room.

She has a keen designer’s eye and her work is nothing short of exquisite.

Listen for yourself as her and I delve into some of the products she offers.

Explore the ways she is selling to her awesome fans.

I’m sure your creativity will jump into high gear too!
