Design that Looks (and Feels) Just Right
Photography by Brittany Sturrett.
Whether you’re launching, pivoting, or elevating your brand, I’m here to guide you. Together, we’ll create design solutions that empower you and propels your business venture forward.
Welcome to Studio Luli, the creative home of Designer and Creative Director Lauren “Luli” Kanfi. A studio built on head-and-heart alignment where clear thinking meets creative intuition, and every detail is crafted with purpose and feeling. I create thoughtful brands, websites, and design spaces that help people connect more deeply with their work and their life outside of that.
With over twenty years of experience developing and executing results-driven creative, I’ve helped early-stage startups find their footing and global brands like L’Oréal, Gap, and Gilt.com strengthen their visuals and messaging. As the former Creative Director for Crunch Fitness, I oversaw design across 300+ locations worldwide, revitalized a tired brand and brought energy with consistent, story-driven content that helped build powerful connected communities.
Today, I partner with mission-minded clients, from local entrepreneurs to established organizations, to design with intention, heart, and integrity. Need that creative lift? I’m here to help you take that step, turn the page and start a beautiful new chapter.
