In addition to her conscious consumer-driven online shop, Lauren has managed to create an impressive empire. From her size-inclusive clothing line, LC Lauren Conrad, to sharing her lifestyle tips on her online community, LaurenConrad.com, it’s clear Lauren always uses her platform for good! We can’t wait for this Jill-of-all-trades to share her wealth of knowledge with us.

From her time spent studying at FIDM & Chapman University and her experience interning at the Human Rights Watch, Hannah learned all about fashion trends, marketing, and the importance of ethical businesses. She’s also made it a point to travel all over the world to witness firsthand the impact of top human rights nonprofit organizations, visiting projects sponsored by Landmine Survivors Network, CARE, and American Jewish World Service. Hannah’s efforts to work towards a greater good is incredibly inspiring and something worth celebrating.
