What does your dream project include? Need to convey the different types of flight, like my original illustration of a finch? Or maybe you need to plan a social media content calendar.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Building areas of art, community interest and intersecting business needs can be daunting.
UMFO is a creative non-profit bringing movie creation to unexpected areas in northern Minnesota. (Working with them was a delight.) Lisa Blade Designs created both digital and print collateral for UMFO.

Always be original
(or be Batman, cause his gear is sweet!)
Digital artwork is magic but sometimes old school is needed, and we go with what works best for your project.
(Good news; I work in both digital and fine work and can effortlessly combine the two.)
Depending on your project needs, original illustrations, digital or pencil-to-paper, watercolor or acrylic painting can be created.
All your custom loveliness can be worked into your website and social media content.
We just need a plan!
Custom artwork for business, personal and beyond, get time on my calendar.

Video and commercial photography support for your product or vision will leave you smiling.
I adore working with small businesses. I am a huge advocate for the entrepreneur and being budget conscious is my mantra)
The quote above is one of my favorites from The Great Gatsby about the beautiful, not practical Daisy.
“Her voice is full of money,” [Gatsby] said suddenly. That was it. I'd never understood before. It was full of money—that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it.
Classics can be new again in the right setting, we should talk.
Pure Joy
