Expertise
These are the areas I’m strongest in: articulating a brand’s story, building campaigns that carry its message across channels, and producing content to reinforce that story over time to drive sales.
Brand Storytelling
Memorable brands are built with strategically placed details, reinforced consistently over time. Worldbuilding is key.
360 Campaigns
A brand message doesn’t stay static across channels. It should adapt, without losing its voice in print, digital, on social, or OOH.
Creative Production
Strategy sets the direction, and production brings it to life. I plan the approach, and am just as comfortable behind the camera.
Toolkit
Executing a singular message across any application is a key part of maintaining brand consistency. Depending on the needs of the project, I can tap into a range of mediums outside of photo & video, through art direction or hands-on execution.
Digital Design
Logos, social content, ads, landing pages… Wherever a brand shows up online, digital design is what makes it feel cohesive, polished, and credible.
Print Design
From VIP invites to billboards to graphic tees, print is where a brand leaves the screen and becomes something a customer can actually hold, wear, or walk past.
Art & Illustration
This one’s mostly just for fun. Sometimes it’s brand right, but it’s usually just how I decompress. (No, it’s not AI! All made with my hands!)

Hey, I’m Lisa.
I’m an Art Director and creative strategist based in South Florida with 8+ years building brand creative for luxury retail and global fashion brands. Currently, I lead all creative at J. R. Dunn Jewelers, a multi-brand luxury jeweler and official retailer of brands like Rolex, Tudor, Roberto Coin, Spinelli Kilcollin, Gucci and more.
Outside of work, I spend my time drawing, dancing ballet, and playing volleyball (poorly).
Below is some of my recent experience.
