She approaches every project with focus on sustainability and guides her clients and co-workers thru the design process. She has created commissioned residential and commercial murals in Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Hilton Head and Savannah, GA.

Lisa currently makes art and owns Plan It Green Design in Savannah, Georgia. When not consulting clients in “green” interiors, outdoor living spaces and native and drought tolerant garden design, she produces art.

 

“For as long as I remember, Iʼve been obsessed with humanityʼs throw-away society. My everyday life is not burdened by the tasks of recycling, composting and reusing...I enjoy knowing my footprint is small. That said, I still can do more and continue finding ways to express my concerns with the environment. When it comes to my artwork which is made from 90% - 95% reclaimed materials, I walk the talk by producing art in the manner that I live.”
