What does it mean to transform spaces into
places for people
Hello, I’m Lisa.
I believe all decisions, big or small, are better made with user insight. It’s about finding one little thing that makes a big impact for people.
I am an User Strategist and Architect by training. I design for people by engaging all users — stakeholders, design teams, operators, and communities — to create long-lasting change. My work results in user strategies that help businesses activate pathways for innovation and growth.
I have over 22 years of experience for clients in the public and private sector, from the Federal Government to Fortune 500 companies. Working for diverse sectors in the built environment for workplace, education, technology, transport, and the civic realm, I’m just as facile navigating the C-Suite as I am in community forums. I’d love to hear about your goals, and how we can weave a human centered process into people focused strategies.
