Let’s Meet Our Guest
Lauren Stewart
Stewart Studio
Lauren is designer, creative director, and founder of Stewart Studio. Her focus is in branding and print design. Shortly after graduating from college, Lauren married a dashing infantryman and the Army swept her away from Texas for a life of adventure. She survived the sweltering heat of Georgia, navigated the far-away land of Missouri, and relished in the beauty of Colorado. Along the way, Lauren has worked for various design agencies and non-profits.
In her free time Lauren likes to play tennis, two-step with her hubby, and decipher their toddler’s adorable babbling. Being mildly obsessed with her dog, Lauren has also authored and designed a children’s book full of colorful illustrations, a silly story, and a lovable pup.

Tips for Transitioning a Retirement Account from a Former Employer New job?
Have you considered what you’ll do with your retirement accounts? If you were investing in a company-sponsored 401k at your previous place of employment, you have a few options: 1. Roll it over to your new employer’s plan within 60 days. 2. Roll it over to an IRA within 60 days. 3. You may be able to leave the amount in your account as-is if the plan allows it. 4. If you don’t deposit within 60 days, you could face a 10% tax penalty + federal income tax on the full amount if you’re under 59 1/2 years old!
Thanks for joining us on today’s 15{ish} Minute Coffee Chat! We’d love to hear from you.
