Lauren Graves

When Lauren Graves was a child, she never dreamed she would ever work in the printing industry… she would visit her dad at work, but she thought print shops smelled funny and was more interested in ballet and animals.  Then, one fall day in 2000, her sophomore year of high school, she started a class in “Desktop Publishing”.  While taking the class she designed different flyers, postcards, business cards, letterheads, etc. Realizing she had a knack for Desktop Publishing and genuinely enjoyed it, she continued to explore graphic design further.  In 2006, Lauren graduated with a degree in graphic design and started working as a freelance designer.  After many conversations with her father Paul, they decided to start PJ Graves and Daughter.  He would offer the service work while she would take care the sales and accounting, and continue her work in graphic design.
