Hi, I’m Lisa Gillis an art director and graphic designer in Halifax who loves a solid design challenge. I have a passion for creating professional, sophisticated, cohesive brand identities, graphic designs, and web designs that connect with the target market.

With over 25 years of industry expertise, I have had the privilege of crafting captivating designs across a wide spectrum of mediums. From visually stunning creative designs to engaging websites, I have left my artistic touch on everything in between.

My journey as a designer began with a passion for visual storytelling and an insatiable curiosity to explore the endless possibilities of design. Over the years, I have honed my skills and developed a keen eye for detail, always striving to create designs that evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression.

Living in the vibrant and culturally rich city of Halifax has been a constant source of inspiration for my work. The natural beauty of the surrounding landscapes, the rich history, and the diverse community fuel my creativity and infuse my designs with a unique sense of place. I firmly believe that design is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating experiences that resonate with the audience on a deeper level.

As a proud mom, I find immense joy in the balance between my professional and personal life. I am blessed to share my journey with my loving husband and our delightful little girl, who constantly remind me of the importance of imagination, wonder, and playfulness in the creative process. They inspire me to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and infuse each project with a touch of magic.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of clients, from local businesses to international brands. Each project has been a unique adventure, allowing me to dive into different industries, understand their core values, and translate them into compelling visual narratives.

When you work with me, you can expect a passionate partner who will listen to your vision, understand your goals, and bring them to life through thoughtful design. I believe in building strong relationships with my clients, fostering open communication, and delivering results that exceed expectations.

Whether you're looking to revamp your brand identity, create eye-catching marketing materials, or develop a captivating online presence, I am here to collaborate and make your creative dreams a reality. Let's embark on a journey of artistic exploration together and craft designs that leave a lasting impact.
