About Lauren Brown
I blend science and art to communicate complex environmental topics into engaging and accessible images and interpretive stories. My 25-year career has spanned professional landscape architecture to river and wetland restoration design. I conceptualize at multiple scales, from regional illustrative maps to site-specific details. For the past eleven years, I\'ve collaborated with non-profit environmental organizations, water resource engineers, and environmental professionals to turn their scientific concepts and technical projects into compelling images, plans, and interpretive stories.Translate the technical into the tangible with someone who speaks your language (ecology, hydrology, land and water management). Bring your vision to life, create shared understanding with diverse audiences and make your impact.See my featured stories below and visit my website Primary design services: Illustrated Maps, Environmental Visual Communication, Conceptual Design Renderings and Interpretive Signage DesignProject themes: land and water conservation | natural resource planning | river and wetland restoration | watershed planning & education | dam removal and fish passage | flood recovery | climate resilience | wildlife, habitat, biodiversity | wildfire and forest health | climate impacts (drought, fire, flood)| groundwater aquifers and springs | ecological restoration (forests, prairies, rivers, wetlands)| cultural and ecological heritage interpretation | nature-based education | land and water stewardship
