Hi. I’m Lauren Vega, an animator, motion designer, and visual storyteller based in New Jersey.
My work is rooted in character and craft. I studied storyboarding and character design at DePaul University, and have spent my career translating those instincts into motion for some of the most recognizable titles in television and film. As a Graphics Specialist at HBO | Max, I have worked on campaigns for House of the Dragon, Dune, Hacks, The Penguin, Creature Commandos, and Harry Potter, bringing them to life across trailers, social content, out-of-home placements, and brand materials.
In 2025 I founded Illunema Productions to work more directly with independent brands and creative businesses, starting earlier in the process and getting closer to the ideas.
My work has received an Emmy nomination for Hacks S4, a People’s Choice Award at DePaul’s Senior Showcase, and Best VR Film at the Swedish International Film Festival and Cinema Carnival in Pisa.
