Lauren is a front end developer and designer. She chose her topic because she sees bloggers using out-of-the-box default WordPress themes and she wants to show them that there are ways that we can make our sites our own without having to know how to build an entire theme from scratch.
She also am an instructor with the Women’s Coding Collective in their WordPress Basics course and gets a lot of folks asking about creating child themes after learning the basics and wants to help others out there with the same questions.
