WHAT I DO BEST
Composing, Capturing & Crafting Your Message
You have great ideas. You’re talented. You do exceptional work. If you are like most people, however, clearly communicating what it is that you do can be a bit of a challenge. Whether you need help crafting a compelling message, composing an eye-catching design and intuitive layout, or capturing unique and professional imagery that will entice your audience to delve deeper, I’ll work with you to create a polished final product on time and within budget.
SERVICES
WRITING & EDITING
When it comes to writing, I am passionate, thorough, experienced, and enjoy both creative and technical pursuits. I can generate persuasive website copy, technology opportunity fact sheets, quarterly reports, biographies, magazines, nomination letters, fundraising letters, and more.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
A professional brand is more critical than ever to your professional success. I will work with you to generate engaging imagery that will attract your target audience and meet your unique specifications. I offer a wide variety of services including logo design, brochures, business cards, flyers, and WordPress websites.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Nothing can pull at the heartstrings of your audience quite like a great photograph. My clients love that I offer “one stop shopping.” I can write a story, design the layout, and provide custom digital imagery, saving you both time and money.

ABOUT ME
- Lauren Marcilliat, owner of Laughing Wren Studio, LLC, is a freelance writer and graphic designer based in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Lauren has a degree in graphic design from Auburn University, a knack for photography, and has worked in marketing, development, event planning, and recruiting as a former employee of both Duke Medicine and Wilkes Community College. This combination of skills and experience gives her a unique perspective when approaching a new project, allowing her to quickly grasp the big picture, tailor your message to your audience, and generate fresh, engaging content that makes you shine.
- Lauren works out of her home, which she shares with her husband Kevin, her sons, James and Ethan, and their loveable lab mix, Layla. As a mother of two toddlers, Lauren doesn’t have much free time. On the rare occasion that she gets a few minutes to herself, she likes to spend them reading a good book, photographing her children, exercising, gardening, or baking.
