She joined Caviar’s roster in 2020 and in a very short amount of time has amassed a sensational body of work for clients such as Adidas, Adobe, Facebook and Football Beyond Borders.

Culture is at the heart of everything Lainey does. From exploring local histories to amplifying othered voices, Lainey approaches her work with a unique sensibility and point of view—bringing mainstream appeal to lesser-known narratives told through a contemporary lens.
