Laura was an AMAZING creative director, and an amazing teacher. She helped make sure I was comfortable and well trained, even though it was entirely remote. She explained things precisely and when we found out I wasn't able to go full time with Sojern, she gave me crucial feedback on my resume, website, and overall portfolio

Laura was my manager for two years at Sojern, and I cannot recommend working with her highly enough. She is passionate and highly motivated, always going above and beyond to better her workplace, deliver high-quality work, improve efficiency, advocate for her team, and provide opportunities for learning and career development.

I can not say enough amazing things about Laura! She is hardworking, thoughtful, strategic, and a great team player. I have had the privilege to work with her for the past 4 years and have enjoyed partnering with her on a variety of projects including social media campaigns, SEO, webinars, website redesign, rebranding just to name a few.

I had the privilege of managing Laura while she led our Creative and Brand teams—and she is one of the most talented and inspiring creative leaders I’ve worked with. She’s also everyone’s favorite manager—collaborative, thoughtful, and a natural mentor to countless people (myself included, even when I was her manager). I feel lucky to have worked alongside her and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Creative, passionate, curious, problem solver, doer - those are just a few of the words that automatically come to mind when I think of Laura. I always look forward to a chance to work and collaborate with Laura on creative or business challenges. She dives deeply into everything she does and can take in new information and evolve her thinking and strategize in almost any situation.

Laura is an absolute joy to work with - the enthusiasm, creativity, and heart she brings makes her an asset to her team and company. I always tapped Laura when I needed someone to help me think through innovative, new projects that we'd never done before, because she always had great suggestions and ideas - and most importantly, knew the timing and resources we would need to accomplish it.

Laura is one of the most dynamic personalities I have ever met. Her enthusiasm for branding, people and pushing the boundaries is inspiring.

rom day one, Laura was a clear rockstar. She immediately entered with enthusiasm and loads of experience. She elevated our entire ad design program, bringing a thoughtful strategy to our entire company with thoughtful A/B testing strategies & improved efficiencies. What is most impressive about Laura is that she continued over her time at Sojern to elevate her team, our strategy, and frankly, the entire business.

Laura is an extremely creative individual with a great sense of design and style. Her understanding of brand importance and the power of simplicity were very effective in creating the brand guideline for our company. Her thorough attention to detail provided us with the entire brand package that we needed to launch our new website.

As Laura’s employee at XOTIC PC Inc., I’ve benefited from her patience, even-handedness and enthusiasm. She clearly took into account individual’s skills or capabilities in assigning tasks. When necessary or under pressure, she remained patient in giving direction and provided even-handed understanding when difficulties arose.

Laura is one of the most talented Graphic Designers I have had the pleasure of working with. She is able to take an idea or task and really take it to the next level by always providing several options for the client/company she is working for/with. Laura clearly has a passion and drive for quality and creative work, but it's her eye for detail that sets her apart from other designers.

I worked with Laura for over two years at Foundation Supportworks where I learned without a doubt, Laura is a leader and a producer! I witnessed first-hand, how Laura positively elevated the teamwork, productivity, and level of fun in our culture! Laura consistently provided outstanding creative and layout with extremely quick turnarounds. Laura is great at time and workload management.

I had the privilege of collaborating with a manager who seamlessly blended the roles of mentor and friend. My introduction to Laura occurred through the mentorship program at Sojern, where she served as my mentor for an enriching four-month period. Despite our roles in completely distinct departments, Laura wholeheartedly immersed herself in understanding my position, team dynamics, and how she could best contribute to realizing my end goals.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working under Laura Barker's leadership at Sojern, and I can confidently say that she is the most inspiring and supportive Creative Leader/Manager I've ever encountered.

Easily one of the bubbliest, brightest and most brilliant individual I've ever had to work with. I worked with Laura during my period as a Senior AM and Team Lead at Sojern. She was a huge help in one of the biggest Coop deals in the history of our company and rallying many individuals / stakeholders to project plan the creative execution across a multi property campaign.

Laura and I worked together for two years and a half, she was a great manager with a unique enthusiasm and optimism for any project. She is a gifted leader: she expertly managed our design team for years, she is smart and analytic, fast and responsive, and a real team player.

Laura has all the qualities of a good manager. Her professional approach and the methodological way she works through problems is extremely valuable. Her positive energy and attitude towards work and life also often inspire peers around her.

Laura is a phenomenal graphic designer and teammate. While working together at Sojern, I immediately noticed Laura's infectiously positive personality and enthusiasm for her work. She always goes above and beyond to deliver high impact results on projects, exceeding all expectations.

Laura is one of those people that you look forward to meeting with because she is the rare mix of high aptitude partnered with infectious attitude. I not only respected Laura because she was always working to strike that perfect balance between doing right by the company and by the customer, but also because she was such a competent professional.

Laura is simply the best! She comes to work everyday with an energy and enthusiasm that is contagious and refreshing. But beyond that, she takes pride in her work and strives to exceed your expectation on the project at hand.

Laura does great work - she's proactive and pays attention to the details. She also has great ideas and creativity. I enjoyed working with her because I could always count on her to find data to back up a strategy and then execute that strategy with excellence. I truly hope I get to work with Laura again.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Laura for a short amount of time. However, I was blown away by the professionalism and creativity she brought to the table. Laura's eye for design and marketing is top tier. I learned so much while working with her. the knowledge I gained by working alongside Laura has made me a stronger employee in my field.

Laura is a positive force in the workplace. She energizes the team and makes every project more fun to work on. Her work is thoughtful, and she understands how to develop and carry forward a brand's visual identity. Laura would be a great addition to any creative team.

Laura is great when it comes to design. Very easy to work with, always gets back to you, and will not disappoint when it comes to creativity in her design abilities. I'd hire her again in a New York minute!
