Hi!
My name is Lisa. I reside near Deep Creek Lake, Maryland after being a D.C. Washingtonian — as the saying goes, the mountains called and I went! I thrive on creative eloquence equally to the beauty of the mountains and rivers of Appalachia.
While I get a quirky thrill from the art of impeccable attention to detail, what truly makes my day is connecting my client to their audience. My aim is to empathize with the needs of you and your users, to understand the big picture, and create imaginative and striking products that help everyone be successful — making the world a better place.
Whether you are looking for a new brand, steady retainer design work, or anything in between, small or large, let's make something great!

Lisa excels at listening to clients' needs and translating them into beautiful, effective designs. While her creativity is impressive, she's also incredibly efficient and knows how far a brand's identity can be pushed. Clients and colleagues alike appreciate her reliable work, ease of working with, and professionalism. Working with her is an absolute pleasure!
