After a few years of building miniatures, she made the jump from shop to set when she became the Property Master for Dave Made a Maze in 2015. In just over a decade in the industry, she's had the privilege of working with some legendary actors from Michael Keaton and Al Pacino to Jane Fonda and Patton Oswald. Having mastered almost every genre of film, Lauren is looking forward to the opportunity of working on television in the near future.
