What's the biggest challenge you face professionally?
"I tend to be more of a generalist than a specialist, so I thrive when I can
experiment within different roles to solve design problems. Trying to
break the notion that a defined role or creative background limits how you
can contribute to the overall process has been my greatest challenge."

If budget were no object, I'd...
"Probably ask for a budget, otherwise I'd most likely get overwhelmed by
all of the possibilities. I feel most creative when I have constraints that I
have to work within."

Why her?
While many designers are known for being outspoken, Lisa is able to speak
intelligently about her designs without overwhelming a client, gaining
trust in the process and facilitating more open, honest feedback and
direction. As a Senior Graphic Designer, Lisa primarily works within the
retail practice, executing various graphics projects throughout all phases
of design. She's skilled at creating memorable, engaging experiences
within every built environment.

How do you see the role of physical stores changing
in the future due to COVID-19?
"The past couple months have required retailers to think differently about their
business model, operations and how they serve their customers. As we transition
back, I expect many of those new services to carry forward, as customers have
grown accustomed to this new level of convenience and safety. Physical stores
could begin positioning themselves to serve a larger number of pick-up orders,
functioning partially as fulfillment centers. For me, the interesting challenge will be
maintaining the perception of approachability in an environment that creates more
physical space, and even barriers, between consumers and employees."
