Hi there, I'm Lisa!
Nice to meet you!About Me
I am a Graphic/Web Designer with 5+ years of industry experience living in Carmel, IN. Growing up, I had two very different passions: Veterinary Medicine and Art & Design. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years before realizing the doctor’s life was not for me. I decided to chase my other dream instead, and went back to school in 2013 for Graphic Design. After graduating in 2017, my fiancé and I moved from northwest Indiana to Fishers to live in a bigger metropolitan area. We bought a home and moved to Carmel, IN in late 2020.
My interests include everything nerdy (from video games to board games, Harry Potter to Firefly, cosplay to conventions) and spending time with friends, family, and pets. I also love learning all there is to learn about websites, design strategy, latest technologies, and space.
