Meet Our Founder

After surviving an emergency open-heart surgery in December 2017, Lauren Atherton knew it was time to fulfill her lifelong dream of creating a design agency dedicated to serving nonprofits.

With over a decade of creative experience, Lauren uses her award-winning design experience with brands such as Chick-fil-A, Henry Ford Health System, and DISH Network to help nonprofit organizations level-up their brands so they can rally more support. 

Lauren serves on the board of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation and has volunteered for nonprofit organizations around the United States. She has helped nonprofits of all sizes build strong brands and can help yours, too.

HeartSpark guided our nonprofit through a lengthy branding and website redesign process with support and great advice. Our members, teachers and board of directors were wowed by the beautiful graphics. Our staff was relieved by the new streamlined processes and ease of use from our new website.
