About

Laura Delarato is a creative director, writer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Beacon, New York. She is currently a Group Creative Director at Vox Media, where she leads social-first storytelling across fashion, beauty, wellness, and culture—work grounded in clarity, care, and a strong point of view.

Her approach is people-first and detail-driven. Laura is interested in how stories actually land: what feels honest, what feels human, and what makes someone stop scrolling for a second longer. She has led campaigns and original formats for brands including Brooks Brothers, Novartis, Pandora Jewelry, and The Allstate Foundation, often working at the intersection of editorial and branded content to make ideas feel accessible without flattening them.

She was Creative Director on EMBODIED, an Official Selection of the TribecaX Film Festival now streaming on Apple TV. The film follows five individuals confronting weight stigma and reflects her broader commitment to work that centers lived experience and treats sensitive subjects with respect.

Laura is also the author of My Pleasure: An Intimate Guide to Loving Your Body and Having Great Sex and writes about art, pleasure, beauty, Italian-American identity, and self-trust. Much of her work circles the same question: how do we feel more at home in ourselves—and invite others to do the same?
