Brand & Packaging Designer | Lisa Wallace Design
BFA, College for Creative Studies
I have a love for systematic design that is rooted in research and consumer habits but also brings a high level of creative solution to the table (or shelf). Making design that is relatable but fresh; comforting but also challenges the norms.
Professional Experience
After graduating from CCS Lisa started her career at Team Detroit (now GTB) in the design studio The Park (now Maker House). Here is where he learned to work on large corporate brands with more rigorous brand standards and constraints. She also was able to explore a lot of the Detroit pro-bono projects the agency was involved in and this is where she began her dive into the packaging world. Lisa moved to a smaller agency Driven and was able to start a design team that was dedicated to brand and package design with clients like Founders Brewing, McClure’s Pickles, ACDelco/GM Genuine Parts and many more. After a decade of serving as the Design Director, she started Lisa Wallace Design and focuses on strategic brand and packaging design today.
