Laura Scofield

Hi, I’m Laura Scofield, a Brazilian New York-based graphic designer. I’m a Design Director at The Atlantic working on projects that span branding, editorial design, web design, and events.

My work has been recognized by the Type Directors Club, Society of Publication Designers, D&AD, Cannes Lions, Red Dot, Print, iF and Brazil Design Awards. 

I also served as a jury member on the Type Directors Club, Latin American Design Award and Brazil Design Awards. I’m a visiting critic at Parsons Communication Design and former AIGA NY board member.

I also research and lecture about vexillology — the scientific study of the history, symbolism, and usage of flags, or by extension, any interest in flags in general  🏴‍☠️
