Lauren Echo is an illustrator based in Reno, NV and Lauren is — hands down — one of the kindest, most generous, delightfully positive, and genuinely engaging people roaming the earth. Her charming and lovely disposition is evident in her artwork. Her artistry is uplifting, pure, and uncomplicated — it’s refreshing and easy to love — much like the artist herself!
Lauren is an avid lover of nature and outdoor recreation — climbing, hiking, and all versions of skiing call to her daily. Her days feel incomplete without some time spent outside. Nature is her artistic muse and inspires many of her illustrations.
Lauren is working on completing a degree in Outdoor Product Design and Development which is a great complement to her entrepreneurial drive and accomplishments. In addition to her Yoga Mat collaboration with Big Raven Yoga, Lauren has also developed a limited edition Kula Cloth (that has already sold out!) Toiletry & Zip Pouch Bags in collaboration with Dirt Chalk Bags, stickers, art prints, murals and eco-friendly water bottles.
Lauren has five yoga mat designs in our Guest Artist Collection — it’s incredibly difficult to pick a favorite. Each one is a beautiful representation of her statement as an artist — she communicates love, reverence, and passion for people and nature. Lauren’s art will bring you outside to discover and enjoy nature’s natural textiles and patterns.
