Laura Coyle creates distinctive art with wide appeal. Her clients include major brands like Target, Amazon.com, Disney and publications including Better Homes and Gardens and The Wall Street Journal.

Laura made her first foray into product design with Hasbro. She was called upon to refresh the classic Parcheesi board game, a design that had remained unchanged since the early 1900's. The challenge was to create a design that would highlight the game’s origins in India and make it appeal to kids today. In working on Parcheesi, she discovered a love for designing products that can connect with people every day.

Since then, Laura’s gift bag, wrap and paperware designs have appeared on the shelves at Target, Papyrus and Hallmark.

To fuel her enthusiasm for design and drawing, Laura works in a studio overflowing with books on everything from Saul Steinberg, to Mary Blair, Calder and Miro, Adrian gowns and Japanese schoolgirl fashions, world maps and a few Hello Kitty toys.

Laura grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and earned her BFA from Auburn University, and spent a summer semester painting and studying art history in Cortona, Italy. She started her freelance career living in the East Village in New York City, dropping her portfolios off with art directors while working part time as an assistant to renowned jazz photographer Jimmy Katz. Laura now lives back in her hometown with her husband Clayton, an architect, in their 1950’s ranch house which they renovated together. When she's not drawing and designing, Laura sings with a local Jazz band at venues around Atlanta.
