Meet Lauren Boritzke Smith, founder of Heartseed Creative. A lifelong storyteller and design thinker, she grew up a proud fantasy nerd who never stopped asking “what if?”—a question that led her straight into the world of climate change solutions. With dual degrees in strategic communications and creative writing, she blends sharp messaging with soulful storytelling to amplify the voices of nonprofits working at the intersection of climate, food, and justice. Her journey spans hands-on farming, international climate negotiations, and campaigns that spark meaningful engagement. Now, through Heartseed Creative, she helps nonprofits bloom with bold design, heartfelt marketing, and communications that spark change—and yes, she’ll cue the funk music while doing it.

Our values
(how we do the work)
We believe climate communication should do more than inform — it should move people.
We reach beyond surface-level messaging to build long-lasting connections between organizations and their people.
Our work is grounded in creativity, strategy, and a deep respect for the human-nature relationship.
We strive to center climate justice and consider impact to those most-impact by climate change in all we do.
We bring our full selves
— heart, head, and hands — to every collaboration.
We believe joy and humor are essential tools for resilience. We take the work seriously, and leave room for fun.
