Park Ave., Streamwood. Lasko grew up in an atmosphere of art and creativity, which developed into a career combining various arts and art forms.  She is the owner of Lasko Design, a graphic design and marketing firm.

According to Lasko, “If I can help heal the world by bringing softness, finding a different way of seeing beauty and honoring the light in others, I will…I will stand here, alone, in my small place, with my small life, breathe hope where hope has gone.”
