Meg’s 2023 Word of the Year: PRESSURE – the use of persuasion, influence, or intimidation to make someone do something.  We (Rachel and I) decided at the end of 2022 that we were ready for the challenge of next-level growth.  What we’ve agreed to undertake will create a lot of pressure, and instead of being overcome, overwhelmed, or exhausted by that, I am going to embrace it. I’m excited for the pressure of success and growth in 2023!

Laura Howard

About Laura
Laura grew up in Utah but has lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and now Wyoming, but the Black Hills, more than any other place, really felt like home. Although her education began at Utah State University, it took a bit of a detour before she earned a B.S. in graphic design and photography from Black Hills State University. While learning the skills required to get her diploma, she also pursued unique industry experiences. She interned at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, gave a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer a tour of Deadwood, helped haul a portable darkroom for wet-plate photo development through the hills one summer, and won a few ADDY awards for her work along the way. She believes that learning is life-long and loves acquiring new skills and techniques that she can then apply to her work. She admires clean, simple design that communicates well in addition to being visually appealing. She currently enjoys applying her style to designs for Rose Group Int’l.
