Lauryn Gina Chidoni

Junior Web Analyst & Master Chef

Lauryn Gina Chidoni joined the Cape Town QuirkStation in July 2010. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Human Rights lawyer (but soon abandoned that idea after realising how much paperwork law entails).

Lauryn went to school in Durbs (bru) and after matriculating from Durban Girls College in 2004, she headed to Cape Town where she completed her Business Science Marketing Honours at UCT. She spent 2009 travelling and studied Italian, cooking and photography in Florence – how cultured! Lauryn also spent time with an international study abroad programme aboard a ship in the Mediterranean, Semester at Sea where she studied International Business, Global Studies and Comparative Human Sexuality.

Before settling down in the Mother City, Lauryn (affectionately known as “Lolly”) worked as a Marketing Assistant with a clothing retailer in Durban. She was attracted to a life online because of the participative element online brings to the marketing mix and the insight it offers brands.

She loves her Mac Book Pro, the colour silver, her family and her dual homelands (South Africa and Italy). She’s terrified of needles and dislikes butter (weird much?).
