Hi, I’m Laura! Founder, mother, and social do-gooder.
My love of design has always been a huge part of who I am. I received degrees from the University of Michigan (BA History of Art & BA Spanish) and Chicago Portfolio School (Art Direction & Design) before starting as an art director at the Concept Farm and building my own branding company where I was able to collaborate with many talented people at Ernst and Young, Brooks Brothers, Jcrew, Lucky magazine and MillerCoors.
When I was growing up, my parents were crucial in shaping my desire to give back and to help those less fortunate. We would go on mission trips to Central America and be on the ground helping firsthand.
I remember being shocked by the extreme poverty. I would come away from those trips feeling sad, but also energized to make a difference in people’s lives.
There are no words to capture the feeling of giving to people who had so little and who appreciated our efforts. But how?
I grew up in the Midwest—shoutout to Northern Michigan— and my Grandma, who always inspired me, had a love for scratch off tickets. One day when my husband, Chad, got me a winning ticket for fun, something clicked. Why not flip this concept on its head and make giving back a game?
And LottoLove was born. Now, I am able to do a world of good with your help!
LottoLove is the first ever scratch-off card with a social mission and the only lotto that makes everyone a winner! Make giving back part of every day gifting with scratch-off cards that give charitable gifts.
LottoLove is a more sustainable way to gift, spread joy, and create a real impact. Today we directly support 4 amazing charities and I hope to see that number grow (along with our impact!) as we continue to work toward our mission. All of LottoLove products are FSC® certified, which means our paper has been harvested in a responsible manner. We meticulously source our products and packaging to minimize our carbon footprint right down to our shipping labels.
I have to thank my parents for raising my siblings and me with the deep understanding of the importance of relationships and human connection. One of my favorite aspects of LottoLove is how it brings people together.
The impact LottoLove has created since its inception is truly humbling, and I count myself lucky to do work that creates such a positive impact on those in need.
Around here we don’t operate on luck, just love.
