Meet the Artist

Think Unique was founded by Artist and mental health advocate, Lauren "Lo" Cornell. Lo graduated from Indiana University School in 2015 where she learned a variety of different artistic disciplines, with a focus in Photography and Metalsmithing & Jewelry Design. It was here that she fell in love with the magic of metalwork, and it was also here that she began her healing journey.

The first pieces she made were diffuser jewelry, to wear with essential oil blends. She then began crafting silver jewelry with healing crystals, ensuring others had a way to connect to these beautiful natural resources on a daily, wearable basis. This began to grow, as more and more people found solace and healing within her work. She began to be featured in magazines, and in art shows around Chicago, where she grew up. The business grew, and so did her collection. She partnered with other local artists, and small business owners, to create a wholistic line of consciously curated goods to enhance and improve your state of wellness.

Now, 10 years into her business, Lo and Think Unique has been featured in Fox News San Francisco, FOX channel 5 D.C., XO Magazine, Chicago Scene Magazine, Scapi Radio podcast, San Diego Voyager Magazine, Chicago Sun Times, FOX5 San Diego, and more. Her journey and ability to overcome her past has inspired many, and continues to do so as she grows her business from her home in San Diego, California.

Aside from crafting artisanal handmade jewelry, Lo enjoys spending time with her ESA cat Brutus, exploring the natural beauty of Southern California, supporting the LGBTQIA+ community she identifies with, and cooking up a variety of nourishing foods for herself and her community.
