Roma Lae Designs was established in 1986 and is owned and operated by Lori Thompson.
Many ask what does Roma Lae mean? Roma Lae was my grandmother’s name. Her family was from Torino, Italy, she was always making things from found objects, I think I take after her when it comes to creativity.
I don’t consider being a graphic designer a job or a profession – it’s what I am. I have always loved art – at the age of 5 I won my first coloring contest at Red Owl Grocery and received a plaque, and a Hot Wheel. I still remember how excited I was. I still have that feeling today when a client loves the design that I have created for them.
I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to do something that I love, earn a living doing it, and having the opportunity to meet and work with awesome people.
