REDC's Design Advisor Graduates from Leadership New Hampshire |

On June 1st, REDC's Graphic Designer & Design Advisor Laura Harper Lake graduated in Leadership New Hampshire's Class of 2023. We are proud of this accomplishment and know the impact of the program will serve her well as she strives to help make NH a better place. Along with creating graphic design and managing REDC’s marketing and website, Laura also works with small business owners to develop their branding, graphic design, website design, and marketing.
Leadership New Hampshire is a nonprofit organization with a mission of building a community of informed and engaged leaders. This year's program began with a retreat in September of last year and finished in June at a graduation at LaBelle Winery in Amherst, NH. REDC President Laurel Adams graduated from the Leadership NH Class of 2016 and found it to be a rewarding and empowering experience.
When not working at REDC, Laura is an interdisciplinary artist who is a small business owner under the moniker Artful Harper Studios, at the Exeter Stations Studios in Exeter, NH. Laura is also the co-founder, co-chair, and co-host of Creative Guts, a nonprofit and weekly podcast with a mission to awaken creativity within people of all ages by curating an environment for connection, collaboration, and the opportunity for gutsy creatives to share their stories with the world. Laura earned a B.A. in Studio Art from Chester College of New England in 2007.
Congratulations, Laura and the rest of the class of '23! |
