Lauren Zimmerman was born in Neuchatel, Switzerland to an American mother and Swiss father. She grew up in a village called Boudry filled with cobblestones, fountains, cow pastures, and vineyards. As Switzerland is located in the heart of Europe she was fortunate to have access to many cultures, just a train ride away. She also grew up going back to Seattle almost yearly. She completed her education in Switzerland and after that, moved to Seattle. She married an American and they have a 2 year old son and another one on the way. Professionally, she has had a career in retail fashion, spending many years with Nordstrom, traveling to Milan, Paris and New York. She recently joined Amazon.
