Creative Consulting
Raised in Nashville and born in D.C., Lauren Hamrick is a seasoned voice in entertainment and cultural commentary. A magna cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University, she’s stewarded the careers of multi-platinum artists, consulted for shows like American Idol, and spoken on creativity and leadership at her alma mater.
Her work lives at the crossroads of artistry and inquiry - questioning norms, amplifying ideas, and consulting with creatives, companies, and institutions who believe in culture with a point of view.
Alongside her work in music and media, Lauren has a deep-rooted passion for visual storytelling. She studied film at the prestigious Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, where she refined her eye for detail and narrative through the lens. Today, she captures moments on analog film, favoring documentary-style portraiture and quiet, cinematic stills that reflect the same depth and intentionality found in her written and spoken work.
