Bio

Laurel Schwulst is interested in ambient forms of design and literature, public works, and the poetic potential of the world wide web.

For over a decade, she has taught design classes and workshops at academic institutions including Yale and Princeton, as well as her own learning initiatives including Fruitful School and Ultralight School.

She’s also held design, front-end development, and creative direction roles at companies including Linked by Air, Kickstarter, and Are.na.

Her ongoing practice circles around works as living systems: spaces that cultivate curiosity, learning, and reflection through thoughtfully created environments.

Beginning Fall 2025, Laurel is full-time faculty and a Beaumont Fellow at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.
