I’m Lauren Timperley, a multi-disciplinary designer with over 10 years’ experience working with a range of organisations; agency, in-house and freelance.
I feel I’m at my best on briefs/projects which allow me to let my creativity loose; being able to break the mould to create something better or bringing a brand to life, there’s no greater satisfaction. I’m not afraid to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in with the rest of team to do an artwork or template roll-out. I believe creativity is just as much intellect as it is instinct.
A lot of my spare time is devoted to honing my skills; there’s always more to learn. I love meeting like-minded individuals and exploring the fast-moving world of design and digital trends, learning along the way is what makes me love being a creative alongside collaborating with other creatives.
I’m always striving to add more strings to my bow, but these design areas are what keeps me ticking:
→ Website Design (CMS including WordPress)
→ Branding/Identity and Guidelines
→ Social Media Campaign creation and scheduling (Planable)
→ Content Development including copywriting
→ UX and UI Design Principles
→ Editorial layout and iPDFs
→ Email Marketing (MailChimp and EmailOctopus)
→ Basic Video and Animation including storyboard
There’s no project that is too big or small, and with a eagle-eyed attention to the smallest of details, the grit and determination combined with skill and a can-do attitude, that is brought to the table every time, without fail.
Simple.

Interests & Away from the Desk
(Board) Gamer | Baker | Volunteering @ Lancaster Larder (Food Bank), Event Organiser (Lancaster Prostate Gaming Day) | Badminton Player | Reader
For the last 3/4 years I’ve been part of 2 volunteer teams; one running a yearly board game day raising money for Prostate Cancer which is a completely free event and the sheer amount of planning that goes on behind the scenes to deliver this event year on year with contacting gaming companies for raffle donations, running the Facebook page to ensuring that no gamer is left without a game on a 16 hour day.. We’ve raised nearly 12K in the last 10 years.
I’m also part of a team of volunteers who run a weekly food club where we distribute food to those in need, run a cafe with home baked goods and personally my career experience comes in handy an awful lot in running the Facebook group for our members. It’s a bit like a food bank, but we’re much more of a social hub and is something very core to our ethos; isolation is a mental health issue and for some people seeing us every week is their only social contact that week and we really need to not discriminate or judge.
