Lauren Ward is a Sydney based prop designer and maker with a genuine passion for crafting unique and high-quality pieces. She discovered her love for prop making during a short mask making course, leading to the completion of a Cert IV in Design and Diploma of Live Production Design at TAFE Enmore. She further developed her skills in a range of mediums while at NIDA, and discovered a love for sculpting, moulding and casting.
Her passion for creating something out of nothing drives her to explore different materials and techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces that bring stories to life. She looks forward to joining the arts and entertainment industries in areas such as film, theatre, exhibitions and events.
