Please give a warm welcome to our summer graphic design intern, Laurel Tauben!  She’s a locally grown 21-year-old designer-in-training, an avid diver, conceptual thinker, and even cyborg. She loves dancing (especially couple’s dancing), and forcing her cat, Jelly, to spend time with her. Next year she’ll be a graduate of the University of North Texas’ Communication Design program and is eager to see how her life will change after graduation.  We asked her a few questions to get to know her a little better – take a look at her answers below! Q:  Werewolves or vampires? A:  Usually vampires. Werewolves are clique-y. Q:  There’s a zombie apocalypse. What do you grab? A:  My car keys. I’m going to Wal-Mart where there’s no windows, video monitoring, huge food supply, pharmacy, weapons, AND barricade materials. With a few extra people on board, you’ve got a micro-city. Q:  Favorite boy band? A:  Fall Out Boy Q:   If you could dis-invent one thing, what would it be? A:  Bras. :’( Q:  If fat, calories, cholesterol, etc. were not an issue, what two foods would you feast on? A:  French bread & cream puffs. Q:  What has been the highlight of your experience at Launch so far? A:  Endless coffee and getting to know the Launch team. Everyone’s been so sweet!  Q:  What do you hope to learn in your time at Launch? A:  To list a few, I hope to become more confident in my ability to deliver what a client needs, streamline my process to work faster, strengthen my collaboration skills, and peek into the “real world” of design.
