Portland Freelance Web Designer + Developer
Hi, new friend!
I’m Lisa, a Portland-based Freelance Designer + Developer that specializes in WordPress.
I’m also a stylish storyteller, guest blogger, resale blogger, brainstorm partner, and classy goofball. I adore making websites for small businesses so that they can find their ideal clients and build mutually profitable relationships!
The power of the internet is that it’s a tool to help us make real, lasting connections. From the days of BBS, where you could meet people to play Dungeons and Dragons with you to where it is today, the possibilities are endless.
I started my career as a makeup artist. Before there were thousands of awesome beauty tutorials on YouTube, there were books like Way Bandy’s Designing Your Face: An Illustrated Guide to Using Cosmetics
Web and software development came later after I had a bad experience using spa software at a celebrity medical spa in L.A. It was supposed to be the best (money was no object!) yet it wasn’t good enough.
Never ever settle.

Lisa and great style are synonymous with my mind. We worked on a team delivering a bookstore application. It is still one of the best projects that I completed at the Guild, in large part because of her contributions. I’ve seen many of the projects she has worked on and Lisa has an amazing eye and is a talented Front-End web developer. Everything she touches looks amazingly good with excellent UX. She is also an avid story-teller, and that made working hard feel like creative play. If you get the chance to work with Lisa, I highly recommend you do so!

Your idea to use regular expressions to solve one of the problems I was having was a great idea. I really appreciated you being vocal with your ideas and your willingness to try new solutions. Your front-end experience also helped us button up this project!

Thank you! That CSS snippet did the trick, amazing. You saved me so much time and I was so frustrated. Lisa, you are an angel, thank you so much! I wanted to follow up on the last emails we’ve had! I think after more research and looking through the information on the links you‘ve sent me, I’m ready to take the leap with WordPress.

There are plenty of people who do WordPress sites. I evaluated many of them and eventually made a decision to go with Lisa. She discussed my requirements thoroughly and helped me simplify the process. I also learned new things in the WP Dashboard!
