  • "she was equally as invested as we were"

    Lauren always brought multiple ideas to the table and was responsive to our input resulting in a truly collaborative effort. She was equally invested as we were in delivering a high-quality product both in terms of design aesthetic and installation. She possesses an exacting eye which she employs to hold vendors and contractors to account on every detail. We are beyond pleased with the end results and look forward to working with her on future projects.

    - David Tuchmann, Senior Vice President - Development & Greg Harris, Senior Construction Manager at Akridge

  • "a pleasure to work with"

    Lauren and Studio 618 are a pleasure to work with. Lauren has been very responsive, attentive and the contemporary, fun designs have all been winners so far for our clients. I look forward to our continued relationship and collaboration.

  • "we'll definitely be using them again"

    We recently had a major product launch at TrueLearn and we were looking for something special to commemorate the huge accomplishment. We reached out to Studio 618 for help and they were amazing to work with throughout the whole process. They came up with the idea of company designed socks and delivered three great designs to choose from. Once we chose the winning design, they quickly put the design on some good looking socks and we had them in our employees hands in no time. Everyone kept saying how cool the socks were and how great they looked. Highly recommend Studio 618 for any design needs your company may have - we'll definitely be using them again soon!

    - Robert Simora, Chief Product & Technology Officer at TrueLearn

  • "great customer service"

    Studio 618 helped me with my soccer team’s logo and it turned out amazing. Listening to everything I said and doing it in a way I never even could imagine my small project could possibly be done. I received great customer service and I recommend Studio 618 to anyone looking to get started on a project in the near future.

  • "attention to detail is impeccable"

    In this day and age, it is so difficult to find someone with not only the skills to execute a job with the highest standards but also the ability to be personable and provide a level of customer service that is so difficult to find these days. Lauren's attention to detail is impeccable. Her ability to make recommendations while still incorporating the vision I had for the company only speaks to her professionalism and dedication to her profession. Lauren embodied the very essence that is Package Pals when she designed our logo and branding materials. Not only do I highly recommend Lauren, I hope to be able to work with her in the future.

    - Trey Pigg, Owner at Package Pals

  • "the team was efficient and work was quality"

    Loved working with Studio 618 for our new firm signage. The team was efficient and work was quality. We will call Lauren and Studio 618 for our next project and in fact already have!

  • "couldn't be happier"

    Another successful project with Lauren in the books. Couldn't be happier with the finished product at 110 East in South End. Look forward to working together again soon!

  • "professional in every way"

    As an artist, I ironically had a hard time developing a brand and logo for my designs. Lauren was able to walk me through a brilliant process of discovering my brand. She understood my wants and vision for a graphic logo and ways to incorporate it into my designs. She is a creative thinker, detail oriented and professional in every way. I highly recommend Lauren for any and all branded graphic design and development work and look forward to working with her again in the future.

  • "very responsive"

    Lauren eagerly jumped in and helped my team at Yellow Duck Marketing with some monument signage design for a client in Florida. She was very responsive, did a great job of listening to our feedback and turned the revised design around quickly. The client loved how everything came together and we look forward to seeing the final product installed!

    - KaiLi Freeman, Account Manager at Yellow Duck Marketing

  • "we felt like she heard us"

    Lauren was a pleasure to work with throughout the process; from concept to installation. I could count on Lauren for an efficient response time and for following up with any of my questions or concerns. We felt like she heard us and worked around our needs.

    - Jan Ringeling, Broker/Owner at Moody Group

  • "the finished product looks incredible"

    Studio 618 did a wonderful job of converting our architect's graphics into workable shop drawings that could be stenciled and painted on a difficult substrate. The finished project looks incredible.

    - Chris Greiner, Sr. Vice President - Development at Stiles Corporation

  • "patience, understanding, intelligence, and endless creativity"

    Lauren worked with me until we came up with something that truly represented what my business is in an image. I am exponentially appreciative of her patience, understanding, intelligence, and endless creativity. Lauren is such a joy to work with, I highly recommend her.

    - Alicia Raposa, Owner at Empowered Planting

  • "very lucky to have found her for our project"

    Lauren takes a lot of pride in her work, and she's very creatively talented. I really appreciate it when I can find people to work with who are as detail oriented as I am - she absolutely checks that box for me. Very lucky to have found her for our project.

    - Claire Hugon, Director of Operations at Mallard Creek Capital Partners

  • "very detail-oriented"

    I had the pleasure of working with Lauren and she's one of the best I've ever worked with. An awesome communicator on a time-sensitive project, with multiple updates that had been added last minute. She's very detail-oriented and wants to offer the best product she can. We will certainly continue our relationship with her and encourage any other firms to do the same.

    - Garrett Shank, Senior Business Development Representative at Duncan-Parnell

  • "a true designer"

    I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren Stern over the past couple of years. Lauren is a true designer, who offers excellent design solutions, as well as the ability to manage multiple projects. She is always ready to take on one more assignment. She understands all aspects of the design process and has an excellent ability to integrate the client’s message and culture into her solutions. It is without reservation that I offer this recommendation of outstanding performance.
