Don’t get hung up on design, we’ve got the hook you’re looking for!
At Hello Happiness Design we take your story and bring your brand to life.
We are a full-service graphic design studio that specializes in print, web, and digital media solutions. Our team is purposefully small so we can be highly creative and super nimble while working within your budget to produce a strong ROI. We can help you build your business through strong professional-looking design.
Create memorable experiences that bring people joy. That’s always been our work mantra. And over the course of almost 20 years our Founder, Lauren Crites, has been fortunate enough to do that for big and small companies alike—working on the agency side as well as in-house. Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to design for fortune 500 brands from CoverGirl, MaxFactor, and Hidden Valley Ranch, to smaller companies such as Origami Owl, Arizona Boardwalk, and eInstruction Corporation. In her years as a Graphic Designer, Art Director, and Creative Director she has overseen integrated advertising campaigns across various channels, print, digital, social, and TV, as well as leading re-branding and design efforts for large-scale corporate identity systems. In working directly with clients she has developed strong relationships to deliver strategic and emotionally resonant creative that also successfully achieves business goals.
Lauren has worked with a wide range of delightful people along the way while employed at a variety of places: McCormick Spice, Vanity Fair Napkins, New York Times, Black & Decker, DeWalt, Kobalt Tools, Mally Cosmetics, CoverGirl, MaxFactor, eInstruction Corporation, Origami Owl, Arizona Boardwalk, OdySea Aquarium, Butterfly Wonderland, and more.
She has had the opportunity to design under the Hello Happiness Design name for the last five years, and create beautiful experiences for many brands: Hidden Valley Ranch, Flooded Fox Den Distillery, Image Craft, Foresight Messaging, Compass Learning, Success Now, RIE, Gesher Disabilities, Community Partnerships, JShoes, and more.
With almost two decades in the making, we are here to stay forever.
Lauren’s contributions to my two small businesses are countless. She is a proven problem solver and my go-to for all things creative. What sets her apart is her ability to see the big picture and deliver us amazing artwork that helps us reach our goals. I know her to be professional, creative, and very responsive. Highly recommended!
First and foremost, Lauren is a top-notch designer with a fantastic eye for detail and incredibly easy to work with! We came to her needing help with event graphics, signage, floor clings, and more. I sent Lauren our brand assets, and she went to work! She required minimal art direction or oversight; she immediately understood our brand’s design language and translated that into beautiful designs that our stakeholders went gaga over. We’ll definitely be working with Lauren again in the future!
Hello Happiness did outstanding work developing my company’s logo, web site, and collateral. The design work is creative, unique, and attention grabbing. A constant professional, Lauren is collaborative and communicative, and is a persistent problem-solver. She listened, provided expert advice, and wasn’t afraid to take risks to make the final product even better. It was a top notch design experience every step of the way. I can’t wait to use Hello Happiness for my next project!
I’ve really enjoyed working with Lauren! She’s extremely reliable, punctual, and an excellent communicator. Her art is beautifully constructed and modern. I’ve appreciated her guidance in making my designs even better than I had originally planned and excepting feedback with grace. Five stars!
I really enjoy working with Hello Happiness Design. Lauren is always so responsive and fast, while also being very clear and thorough. Lauren has helped us out on some branding and identity work and we definitely plan on working with her again!
I hired Hello Happiness to revamp and upgrade the branding for Advanta Living and they have done a great job. Well versed with graphic design, and with good contacts in the industry to provide support at all levels. You can tell when you’re working with an experienced professional because this is Hello Happiness.
The three attributes I put for Hello Happiness are GREAT RESULTS, EXPERT in graphic design, and CREATIVE.
Working with Lauren is always such a treat! We have collaborated on several of my clients’ website projects and she always delivers beautiful designs that hit every mark. In my experience, Lauren is an artist, but also incredibly responsive and flexible — a true creative professional.
Working with Lauren was a delight from start to finish. It’s amazing how she was able to take my ideas and design a logo to fit not only my cake creating business, but my personality as well! I am so very happy with her professional work — I love it! I have no reservations whatsoever to recommend Lauren to anyone looking to brand their company to reflect who they are! Thank you Lauren!
