I'm Lauren, aka 'etherealbyjay' (check out my art Instagram account). I graduated from Missouri State University in 2022 with a Graphic Design degree and recently obtained a Graduate Degree in Digital Marketing at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, (2024).
Throughout my time at UMSL, I was a paid Entertainment Editor for the newspaper and a weekly DJ at their sound booth. In addition, I interned for a podcasting app called 'Relevnt' in 2022 (now called 'Pro Sports Fans'), and created podcast cover art for myself and others. I also worked as a Marketing and Development intern for a non-profit in Springfield, MO called 'The Victim Center'. Currently, I'm working as a paid singer and dabbling in freelance art.
