Laura Donnell

Owner & Creative Director

Hello! I'm Laura, founder of both Laura Donnell Brand Studio & Witty Scent Shop (one builds brands, the other burns things down).

With 10 years of experience across SaaS, tech, and mission-driven sectors, I've supported enterprise teams at major agencies working with Fortune 500 partners, guided smaller nonprofit teams, and sat across the table from fellow entrepreneurs sketching their first logo on a napkin.

What I love most about running this studio is the versatility and range of business problems I get to solve with awesome teams. My projects range from intensive agency collaborations to intimate brand launches with first-time founders. In every case, I balance strategic thinking with careful execution.

I live for strategic problem-solving, dark humor, and a hot cup of coffee. With me on your team, you can expect smart design and honest feedback.
