About Lisa Lardinois

My graphic design and communications career began when I was an undergraduate in journalism at San Jose State University. I didn't know it at the time, but studying to be a newspaper reporter laid the foundation for all of my future work.

Shortly after graduating from SJSU, I became a marketing editor at a high-tech firm in Silicon Valley. I soon realized I had a knack for managing multiple projects. While collaborating with an outside designer on a company brochure, I also discovered an interest in graphic design.

I started taking art and design classes at De Anza College and fell in love. That was almost 20 years ago, and I've never looked back. Throughout this time, I've grown up with the industry, both through professional experience and continued education. I recently earned an addtional degree in Web Media from Cabrillo College.
