ABOUT
LightBolt is (for now) Lauren Bok: a producer, arts administrator and project manager for over 10 years - basically a professional sh*tkicker for the arts and creative industries. She is a one-woman machine of solutions, spreadsheets, and get-sh*t-doneness.

Testimonials
People I've helped
“You know when you hit a road in the middle of a project or a gig and you need that speedy, bright, on point piece of work done, without having to basically do it yourself because it takes that long to explain it to someone? Well this is where Lauren comes in!
She is quick, professional, smart and she knows her stuff. And somehow she knows your stuff too.
AND she is a delight to work with”

"Lauren's support was professional, timely and easy to manage. I needed podcast edits urgently and she was able to turnaround the final edits earlier than expected and with an open communication style that made feedback simple and straightforward. Definitely recommend for her reliability!"
