Life
Lauren Saint Cavanaugh
Born in Tacoma, raised in Eatonville, I am a true Mossback. I live in Seattle with my husband and our three kids. We love this city and hope to continue to raise our family here. Our home is a tiny green bungalow located in the Central District. It is a special place where we do most of our favorite things like spending time with friends, hosting game nights, growing vegetables, rooting for the Seahawks, and raising kids.

Graduated with a BA in Industrial Design
An architecture degree was my original career pursuit, but while working at a cafe on campus, a good friend and colleague of mine told me about her program, Industrial Design. It was about the time I was applying for the Architecture program, so I made two portfolios and applied for both. I choose Industrial Design and am so glad I did. Through the program, I not only learned the skills of my trade but made lifelong friends and had the opportunity to travel. I spent a summer in Japan at a ceramics co-op where I worked in a cafe' and help build floats for the Tachi Neputa festival. I also went to Lyon, France to show work at an Industrial Design fair with my classmates. Lastly, I spent my final semester in Rome, Italy, also with my classmates, where we studied Art History and Design.
