Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Lisa earned her B.A. in Journalism from Central Michigan University. As a college student, she designed her first room with thrift store finds, a practice she still incorporates to find exclusive and unexpected pieces. After moving to San Francisco, she was further inspired by The City's architecture as well as her travels throughout Europe, Asia, Central America, and the United States. After many years of lending interior design advice to family and friends 'as a favor,' Lisa started designing professionally in 2003 and formed Olive Juice Designs in 2005.

Olive Juice Designs is a boutique interior design firm offering a range of design services including interior design, space planning, color consultation, and procurement. Lisa has designed homes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Palm Springs and Michigan. She skillfully works with a range of budgets and a variety of design styles.
