Hello, my name is
Lisa Marie Norton

I’m a freelance graphic designer and illustrator with 20+ years of experience in web and print design, branding, art direction, photography, and illustration. I excel at managing projects remotely, staying organized, meeting deadlines, and collaborating creatively. I’ve worked in a variety of settings, from small studios to large corporate agencies, and I take pride in delivering work that reflects each client and brand’s unique vision across multiple projects and mediums.

I have a keen eye for detail, a fun and collaborative approach with teammates, and a passion for bringing creativity into every aspect of my work—and life. Outside of design, I explore creativity through interior design, snail mail, and custom illustrations of people’s pets.
