In conjunction with The Swelle Life, Foto Crush recently ran its “Be An Art Director” contest, where the winner gets to co-create a photo stationery collection with a Foto Crush Art Director. For the month of December, we have two winners! Lauren, and the lovely blogger herself, Denise.

Creative Life is a series of blog posts that follows each winner’s journey. We hope you’ll follow along with their creative progress, and see how each person’s artistry shines.

LAUREN’S JOURNEY, PART 1
Right away, we could tell that Lauren was a whimsical, curious mix of wonderfulness. She teaches at an alternative high school, and is an amazing artist in her own right. The first step in the process was for Lauren to take our creativity personality quiz. The goal: To understand what inspires her, then use that to inform the 3 creative concepts for her to choose from. What we discovered was a woman of great faith, who adores her husband, with unforgettable memories of their perfect honeymoon in Italy. She has an eclectic range of music, a few of her favorite songs being Awolnation’s Sail, Toccata & Fugue in D’Minor, and Hysteria by Muse. And she has a real playful side, even back from when she was a little girl who loved her cat, peanut butter and naps most of all! So it was no surprise that Lauren added her own personal touch to our quiz (see colorful border), which gave us more insights into her bright & sassy personality.
