Some people dream of running away and joining the circus. When Lauren Solomon found herself in Indonesia, freshly fired because of a seizure that was mistaken for a case of demonic possession, she knew the only school crazy enough to hire her as a teacher was the Ringling Brother’s and Barnum & Bailey Circus. While sharing her classroom with lions, tigers, clowns, and contortionists, she decided to pursue her own dreams by building the apps and websites that filled her lesson plans. She left teaching and began her career as a User Experience Designer. She has worked for companies including AT&T, T. Rowe Price, Marriott, and PayPal. She has designed and is currently developing a social media app, VoxPopin, that connects the people’s voice to their politicians.
