Hi, I’m Lauren Costa Stone

she/her/hers

With a decade of experience, I've designed intuitive and delightful user experiences, focusing on B2B and B2B2C SaaS products.

A New Jersey native and fully adopted Atlantan, I tell it like it is with a smile. Entrepreneurial at heart, I get excited about new challenges and find the best approach is to jump in with both feet.

Always on the lookout for new knowledge and growth opportunities, I apply every bit of wisdom I've gained along the way. My expertise in information architecture, research, and strategy ensures valuable insights that refine solution focus and align with user experience objectives. As a seasoned collaborator with product teams,
I bring a dash of creativity and a ton of innovation to the table, seamlessly integrating designs and driving impactful results.
