Lisa Morton is a nature lover, book lover, and dog lover first! Her passion for interior spaces has been a lifelong journey, starting with sponge-painting her teenage bedroom in the 90s, learning the required tools through design school, and even designing private jet interiors for several years. Eventually, she found her true calling in residential design, where she carved out her own niche by blending a holistic approach with Feng Shui, biophilia, and color psychology. Lisa’s aim has always been to create spaces that truly support and uplift those who live in them.
My Maven Superpower is…Speed Reading – comes in handy!
Best book I’ve read lately is…The Women by Kristin Hannah.
Self-care habit I swear by…Yoga.
My first job was…The Hy-Vee grocery store. To this day, I still remember the codes for the fruits and veggies!
The best career advice I can offer is…Never let any opportunity pass you by. I’ve had several experiences that I didn’t believe would turn into much and in the end they were my most fulfilling projects.
A purchase I’ve been loving lately is…Hooga grounding mat.
I feel most confident when…I leave a yoga class, being able to rinse out all the thoughts floating in my head is so refreshing. I feel like I can conquer the world.
My favorite local restaurant dish is…Any dessert from Cake Bake! I have a sweet tooth!
The thing I’ve been binging lately is…Tea – Specifically, the Aveda brand tea. It’s delish!
A fun fact about me is…I have two 180lb English Mastiffs.
The skill I most want to learn is…The French language! I have tried to learn for years but not getting very far.
A Maven you should know is…Desta Ntamere.
My favorite nonprofit to support is…Humane Society.
What have you achieved recently that you’d like to celebrate with our community?…This past summer I became a Master Teacher of Feng Shui and launched my school.
What’s next for you? What can we expect to see over the next few years?…I’m currently writing a book and am really excited to finish it. Hopefully by summer!
I feel most myself when…I feel like my most authentic self when I’m outside in nature in jeans and a favorite old hoodie. I love to get outside- no headphones, no distractions, just the birds, clouds, and the breeze….. AND my dogs, of course!
My “must-have” product is…Fun office supplies. Having really nice pens or colorful markers, also post-its and file folders in a variety of colors make each day a little more fun.
