Lisa Temple was born and spent her first 30 years in Detroit, where she learned a lot about hard work. A lover of beautiful words and images and a natural storyteller, she's transformed her talents into a career bringing stories to life – first for the art world, then for the great cultural, educational, and natural attractions of North America, and recently for retail and lifestyle brands. Now she's back a little closer to where she began, leading community engagement efforts for a tech giant, but working with amazing arts and education orgs everyday to craft unique and meaningful experiences.

She's equally at home wireframing an e-commerce experience, in a recording studio, working with designers or product managers, researching, writing, crunching numbers, or interviewing celebrities. Her experience is diverse, but she prides herself on reaching the same result no matter the project – a seamless, beautiful story, that achieves objectives in a superlative way.

Lisa is a graduate of the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor, with Distinction, and she proudly bleeds Blue. These days, though, she lives in Oakland, California, with her husband and her beloved rescue pup. When she's not working, you'll find her worrying about problems too big for her to solve, but she tries anyway. Here's her latest passion/worry/obsession:
