The Art and Trade of Visual Design: Driven by the need to reconcile my many creative interests, I established Lisa Ulf Design as a means to embrace my life long passion for design, landscape and environment. Incorporating 30 years of professional practice as an interior designer, hardware consultant, kitchen & bath specialist, I use my expertise to create viable living spaces, unique experiences and influence decision-making. My business approach is simple; thinking "beyond the decorative" I believe the most important aspect of creating successful interior space is identifying the clients true need, defining how a space should optimally function and provide comfort by introducing quality materials and finishes.Understanding that each design project ranges in scope & size I’ve developed services that can be combined to match project requirements. This includes; interior space planning & design, develop material & finish concepts w/concept boards, sketch or CAD floor plans & elevations as well plumbing, hardware and lighting specification, kitchen and bath design.
