After graduating from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, with a bachelor’s in urban studies, Lauren returned to her native state of Texas to pursue a master’s degree in architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. After finishing her graduate program, Lauren found her way back to Maine where she had spent summers visiting family and working in Boothbay Harbor. She spent the next decade working at a small, award-winning design firm in Kittery. There she focused on residential projects, including a net-zero home, as well as commercial non-profit projects centered on sustainable animal care, which combined her love of architecture with her love for animals.
At Knickerbocker Group, Lauren works on high-end residential designs. Her role entails early schematics through the detailing and construction process to ensure all architectural details are properly brought to fruition. Working both with clients and vendors as well as behind the scenes, Lauren enjoys digging into the details to turn a client’s vision into a thoughtfully design, beautifully constructed home.
Outside of work, Lauren enjoys sailing, hiking, camping, and mountain biking, and in the colder months, she can be found skiing, snowshoeing, and spending time in the mountains as she slowly but surely adapts to Maine winters. On all of her outdoor adventures, she almost always brings along her Old English Sheepdog, Boomer.

Life in Maine
Having grown up in Texas, Lauren appreciates the changing of the seasons even if it means enduring the winter months to enjoy the precious Maine summer.
