Detailed Experience
Garden and Landscape Designer
A longtime gardener who has never minded getting her hands dirty, Lisa has a certificate in landscape design. She lives in a region affected by drought and replaced her thirsty lawn more than a decade ago with water-wise plants.
Budget-minded and resourceful, she enjoys propagating and growing plants from seed. Her family's front and back yards include recycled and re-purposed furnishings and accessories. Lisa also likes to create succulent container gardens.
Antiques and Collectibles Dealer
In addition to receiving an extensive education in art, design, and architectural history from Cal Poly, Lisa has a certificate in Fine Art and Antiques Appraisal Studies from the University of California, Irvine. Since college, she has been a collector and dealer of mid-20th-century furnishings, collectibles, clothing, and jewelry.
