Meet Lauren

MEET LAUREN

Lauren was born and raised in Auburn, Alabama, and her Auburn roots run deep. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and her Master's in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Auburn University. During her time on campus she was a member of Alpha Omicron Pi and twired on the Auburn University Marching Band Majorette line. Today, Lauren has come full circle as the Majorette Instructor at Auburn University- pouring her heart back into the program that shaped her. 

Lauren and Melissa's friendship was forged through twirling-built on shared passion, artistry, and laughter. When Melissa first founded GMA and began creating wedding stationery, the two would often laugh about how they would figure out a way to work together one day. When Melissa transitioned GMA into collegiate products and Lauren became a mom of three, the time finally felt right to make that dream into something real. 

For Lauren, being part of GMA is a blend of creativity and fulfillment- a place where she can watch ideas transform into beautiful realities and witness the artistry and growth that unfold with each design.
