- David Oswald | Owner, DE Design + Environment
Lisa worked with me on our 2013 TEDxRenfrewCollingwood project. She was creative, reliable and the end results were fantastic. She began by getting to know the project, researching our event and the extensive TED guidelines then came up with creative concepts which we loved. It was clear from the start she has a way of getting to the heart of what is required and creates designs with a modern feel. You will be making a fantastic choice when you work with her.
- Gemma Scott | Core Organizer,TEDxRenfrewCollingwood
Excellent WordPress knowledge. Excellent graphic designer with great ideas.
- Les O’Hara | Owner, The Contractor Huddle + Players U Sports Training Campus
We worked on a number of projects together over the past few years including a website redesign, corporate presentation materials, a financing package and business case proposal. All of which were creatively envisioned by Lisa and professionally managed. She has the ability to push the boundaries and also work in more conservative environments. I truly enjoyed working with her.
