Okay, whenever you send me something new I am so gobsmacked by how beautiful it is, I can barely look for the possible problem areas. Seriously, it takes me a couple of days to recover. I was just thinking, Lisa has the most fun job that she is most wonderful at doing. (Awkwardly worded, yes, but when I think, I’m clunky) Unclunkily, I thought, ‘She must be smiling every day!’ (Of course I know that’s not true, as I live in the real world, but still, that’s really what I was thinking just now…) Lisa, you are so good at your job! — Julia Sweeney, juliasweeney.com
When your name is part and parcel of your brand, designing your digital calling card becomes a totally personal process.

I’m really happy with the results and couldn’t recommend Lisa (the web designer) more highly. (The other Lisa is pretty great, too.) — Jerry Collins, awkwardcompanypicnic.com
I’m so INFINITELY grateful to have discovered you–I began 2020 with my broken foot, followed by a pandemic and more seemingly broken professional and creative dreams…yet hearing your story of recovery (from the same injury, nonetheless), working with you to make our virtual home / website more real and welcoming, and then finding out you have a background in books as I’m trying to realize that dream as well…it just all seems to good to be true. So 2020 is the year I discovered Lisa, and that is something worth celebrating and marveling about! — Heather Treadway, dreamchicago.org
We needed someone who wouldn’t just build a site, but would understand our brand to help us strengthen our organizational identity and develop a better tool for our work.

Lisa Hazen is that rare individual who offers a creative approach to design, plus the business skills to deal with a busy company. We are very happy with our site which looks original, unlike others in our industry which all seem like they were made on the same template.

Designing your CD? Take it to Lisa Hazen. I’ve had overwhelmingly positive responses to the design of my new album Griffith Park: “WOW! The design is exquisite.” “What originality!” “It’s gorgeous—a serious work of art.” “What a contrast to the usual presentation.” “How welcome to see such care in design.” “You should enter this in a contest.” Yes Lisa should enter it immediately. I came to this remarkable woman with wild notions, a complicated project (6 panel CD + 24 page lyric booklet) and little savvy. She and her superlative team took charge but with such sensitivity, care, humor, patience and imagination that I was able to calm down and let them get it done. Her style is meticulous, yet open hearted and daringly intuitive. She has the courage and experience to allow the project to direct even more than the people involved.

She was so easy to work with and the result is a website that is just what I imagined and LOVE! Virginia Wilkinson, Your Life SPRUCED

Her design throroughly captures the atmosphere of my debut novel in a format that is easy to navigate and update on my own. Thanks, Lisa, for an outstanding result! — Lynne Raimondo
