Accomplishments
Lauren started beve, a stationery and gift company, in 2012. Her products are created using a variety of mediums, though they all have a fun boldness and vibrancy to them; they are carried in hundreds of independent shops. Lauren often finds herself designing a product she wants and cannot easily find. She operates beve out of her renovated vintage camper studio nestled in the woods by her home in Virginia.
