    After twelve years in the printing industry, I struck out on my own and founded Lauren Graphics, Inc. in 1989. I have seen graphic design change in so many ways through the years. Web design has brought a whole new dimension of design that is ever changing. It’s still graphic design and I love it because it allows me and my team to be creative in making our customers look good. We particularly enjoy working on projects that tie the print and web worlds together, leveraging the strengths of both. I love the relationships that we’ve developed over the years, and am grateful for the faith and trust that our clients have in us.

    Sometimes it’s the simple things that get creative juices flowing, such as petting a dog or throwing a ball. This is where MJ makes her contribution, coming to the office with me every day and always alert for opportunities to help.

    Mary Jane “MJ”

    MJ joined the Lauren Graphics team in 2005, and hasn’t called in sick once. She brought very little experience but a terrific attitude – it seems that no challenge is too great for her. Over time she’s grown into responsibilities that include diffusing frustration, realigning perspective, reminding us what’s important in life, and chasing balls. She’s not a fan of thunder, and especially enjoys activities involving string cheese.

    Update: It is with sad hearts that we report MJ passed in October of 2020.

    Kelli Escalante Dotts

    Kelli is originally from California where she received her BA in Fine Arts. After a twist of fate brought her to Colorado she returned to school and realized her true passion, Graphic Design. She has been in the design field since 2009 and been a graphic designer at Lauren Graphics since 2012.

    She still enjoys painting when time allows. In her spare time she likes to bake (with wine) , experience breweries new and old, and “glamp” with her husband and two dogs. She’s always up for trying something new, in life and design.

    Ellen Dash

    Ellen thrives in Florida where the skies are blue and the sunsets are orange. Guess you can tell she’s a Gator. Her first degree from UF was in Computer Science. She worked as a software engineer for many years until her yearning to focus on website design/development really kicked in. She returned to UF to get her Master’s degree in web design in 2013.

    Since then, her focus and passion has been entirely on websites. Her specialty is WordPress, but she can work in other frameworks and languages too. She loves a good challenge!

    When she’s not working, she’s out enjoying nature and probably hiking, biking, paddling, or running. And maybe thinking a little about code.
