Ko Maungatautari tōna maunga
Ko Rangitikei tōna awa
Ko Tainui tōna waka
Ko Raukawa tōna iwi 
Ko Parewahawaha tōna marae me te hapū 
Nō Aotearoa me te Netherlands 
Ko Wereta te whānau o tōna papa
Ko Nes to te whānau o tōna mama 
Ko Lauren Skogstad tōna ingoa

Lauren completed her Masters in Spatial Design Architecture at Massey University before realising the full extent of her talents overseas. Lauren has designed experiences at digital agencies across Australia and the UK, including London’s University of the Arts.

Before returning to New Zealand, she refined her practice at Isobar in Melbourne, rising to become their associate design director.

Lauren is also a performance artist who has worn a 10-metre-long red dress through city streets all around the globe. When she’s not designing experiences or dazzling pedestrians, you’ll find her painting watercolours, crafting furniture, and dreaming up her next art project.
