What Drives Us
We Empower Entrepreneurs to Build the Brands of their Dreams.
We know the power small business owners have to change the world. LAVI is here to help you do just that—with style and polish.
​
A distinct brand identity is central to each organization’s success. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our clients is able to clearly communicate your values, identity, and purpose, while ensuring a professional and distinct brand image.
We value diversity and work with organizations that empower people and make the world a better place. As an organization, we value connection, authenticity, and empathy—and seek clients and employees who align with these values.
Anna Borgholthaus Chiles
Co-Founder
Anna's passion for marketing and branding stemmed from a love for writing, a keen eye for visual design, and a desire to find new ways to think outside the box. She has worked on projects from higher education, to nonprofits, to startup tech companies—all the while managing to capture each brand's unique identity.
​
She also understands the challenges that are unique to entrepreneurship, having managed her own food blog and worked as a freelance designer and photographer for over a decade.
When she's not working, she's most likely baking something delicious in her kitchen, watching the latest true crime documentary, making art at her dining room table, or trying to find the best tacos in DC.
Lauren Aplin
Co-Founder
Lauren has been interested in art and visual design from a young age, and she's been building on her skills ever since. From watercolor to digital renderings, she loves making her clients' visions a reality.
Her husband’s military career created a need to be adaptable in her career, so she transitioned from a professionally trained cosmetologist to a full-time artist, starting a successful small business and making customized sketches, drawings, and art pieces for clients for the past 8 years.
​
When she's not working, Lauren can be found spending hours in her garden, making art with her 3 kids, or starting yet another house project with her husband.
