Laura Sorensen: graphic design for logos, websites, print and digital marketing in Cranston, RIWhen I was a little girl, my mom would make wedding cakes. (Bear with me here.) I remember watching her as she carefully measured out the right ingredients and frosted each cake very carefully, making sure to get the portioning on the ingredients just right. Every cake, though, when it was done, was different and decorated in its own special way.

One day recently when I was reminiscing, it suddenly hit me: that’s actually what I do now. I make logo ‘cakes’ – I make website ‘cakes’! It’s important to get the ‘science’ of the ingredients just right, but it’s just as important to make each one special, beautiful, and like no other. So I take my understanding of the basic essentials that need to be present in any design (be it a logo, a brochure, or a website), but then I blend them together and apply them in a way that’s specifically right for you. No templates. Just a completely customized design that accurately reflects your business.

Each ‘cake’ is different in its own special way, a perfect blending of science and art.

The pay-off for you? You get to share who you are with the people that matter, without saying a word. Want to pinpoint everything that’s special, different and (frankly) awesome about your business? Find out more about working with me.

Even more about me: When I’m not designing, I love going on driving adventures to cozy, quaint towns around New England. Or you can often find me curled up with a book and a tasty mocha at one of my favorite Rhode Island cafés.

Oh, in case you don’t parlez le Français (no judgment here), atelier is French for studio. And LKS? They’re my initials.

Serious mojo happens when marketing and design work together. As a Fractional Creative Director, I've witnessed the awesome business impact when marketing and design teams harmonize their work. Harmony that translates into faster time to market, premium pricing, and a smoother ride. 1️⃣ - Bridge the gap between design and marketing through a cohesive visual language in all your touchpoints: web, social, trade shows, and offline materials. 2️⃣ - Collaboration between design and marketing is key. Effective cooperation will transform marketing goals into impactful design assets. 3️⃣ - Start by establishing clear goals and open communication. Everyone does their best work in a collaborative environment. 4️⃣ - Embrace data-driven decision-making. If marketing leaders and creative directors have a shared understanding of performance, they can reach quicker decisions on optimizing campaigns. This ultimately drives revenue growth. 5️⃣ - By fostering a partnership, collaboration, and leveraging each other's strengths, marketing leaders and creative directors can work together to drive revenue and position the business for long-term success. When we bridge the gap between these two crucial disciplines, magic happens. Let's get to work, people! 💪

🦞🦞🦞 A great lobster roll builds trust. Craving a tasty lobster roll from Maine now? Hiring a fractional creative director to build trust in your marketplace is like finding the perfect balance of Old Bay seasoning for your (lobster roll) brand. (That’s my personal spice fave for the tastiest lobster roll, btw.) Just as the lobster roll represents the authentic flavors of Maine (where I happen to be on vacation right now), a skilled creative director adds a pinch of innovation and storytelling to spice up your company's image so you can build trust A) more quickly and 😎 effectively. So, indulge in the Maine experience and let a creative maestro (that’s me) craft a brand that leaves a lasting impression - no bib required! Start chowing down now (link in bio)
