Lauren Briggs
Lauren Briggs is a visual storyteller with a love for children’s picture books. She is passionate about literacy, the environment, and Indigenous education. She specialises in design and illustration, and uses picture books as a vehicle to explore and share ideas about important social issues.
Her two books: Stories for Simon (written by Lisa Miranda Sarzin) and Little Pago (Boolarong Press, 2021) are both calls to action with the hope of inspiring our next generation.

During this four-year degree she was selected to study at St Martins College of Art and Design in London. It was here that she was first introduced to the art of etching and printmaking.
Following her studies, Lauren worked in design and photography in London, and started her own freelance design business in Sydney in 2003. Lauren lives in Sydney with her husband, four children two dogs and a lovely old cat.
