About

Who We Are
Born and raised in Arkansas, Lauren and Justin have always felt a deep connection to the natural beauty of their surroundings. Their shared love for the outdoors and design inspired them to start a journey in 2020, combining their talents to ultimately glorify the Creator of creation. Lauren, the sole graphic artist behind RC, finds great joy in creating artwork that brings others happiness and inspires them to connect with the world around them. While she leads the design work, both Lauren and Justin tackle all things marketing, finance, shipping, and more. 

Outside of their work with RC, they also contribute their skills to Ink, a company dedicated to helping brands take their ideas from concept to commerce, and everything in between. Justin works as an Account Manager, helping clients shape their brands and merchandise, while Lauren serves as the Creative Manager for the Art Department. She oversees a talented team of artists and creates custom designs.

In addition to their work with RC, Lauren and Justin are grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Arkansas State Parks, where their RC art was pitched and embraced. Together, they’ve also had the privilege of working with incredible brands like St. Jude, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Mack's Prairie Wings, and many more at Ink.

What We Believe
At RC, we consider ourselves old souls, committed to staying true to our values—being authentic, adventurous, and a positive light in the world. We take pride in creating unique designs and high-quality products that reflect our love for vintage-inspired style.
