I am Lisa Bellew, owner and Creative Director of Lisa Bellew Creative, with 25 years of experience as a website designer, developer, and brand designer. I help clients build memorable visual identities and high-performing Shopify and other websites. I blend strategic branding with hands-on execution to translate a client's story into a cohesive visual language that balances luxury with personality, especially in art, music, and pop culture. Outside of client work I'm an oil painter, which informs my approach to presenting artwork online and in digital spaces. I've developed branding and websites for art education programs and galleries, giving me first-hand experience creating visual identities and digital experiences within the arts community.
