Lauren Deakin is the designer and founder of Dopamine Design Co, a brand fuelled by colour, character, and a love of all things vintage. A self-confessed upcycling and colour addict, Lauren creates bold, dopamine-boosting prints and homeware that bring big personality into everyday spaces.
With a background in textile print design, she handcrafts seasonal collections and one-of-a-kind pieces — from painted vintage lampstands to botanical prints — as well as bespoke commissions for homes and indie businesses who want something truly unique.
Inspired by the layered charm of William Morris and the playful maximalism of House of Hackney, Lauren’s work is all about recharging your space with energy, story, and a little bit of magic.
Lauren was also featured in edition 3 of The Curated Nest magazine. Get the back catalogue here https://the-peacock-the-printmaker.kit.com/585de9a4bb
