A Milwaukee based scenic designer, Lisa’s design work of particular joy includes past projects with Milwaukee Opera Theatre, In Tandem, Renaissance Theaterworks, Milwaukee Shakespeare, Milwaukee Chamber Theater, Milwaukee Rep, Florentine Opera, First Stage, Skylight Music Theatre, Forward Theater, Opera Lafayette, and AFT/Northern Sky, where she is currently the Resident Scenic Designer. In addition to her design work, she logs more than three decades in the pursuit of managing prop shops and building props for the full spectrum of work in the performing arts. Lisa currently spends off time serving as volunteer for Puppets in the House, LLC; engaging in flights of imagination and fancy, and elevating puppetry arts to effect transformation in public education and storytelling. She is also proudly affiliated with the national professional organizations The Society for Prop Artists & Managers, and Production Managers Forum.

Lisa is a proud union designer: Local USA 829, IATSE.
