Not only is Lisa a graphic designer (something that's part of her creative DNA), but she also considers herself a visionary. She sees the project from all sides — understanding client needs, space, layout, and placement. She's been a writer, graphic designer, account executive, traffic manager, and photo shoot art director. She's worked directly with CEOs, vendors, clients, team members, outside agencies, and everything in between. She sees the whole picture, not just her piece of the pie.
