Hello, I'm Lisa Johnson.
As a human-centred design mentor who has spent decades exploring and mastering what it means to align your unique creativity, I'm on a mission to inspire your creative quest.
I’ve worked at agencies We Are Digital and Paper Giant, and as a Director at Deloitte Digital. Most recently I worked at Accenture Song (Fjord) as a strategic Experience Design Consultant.
With a history in graphic design, interior design and copywriting, I founded and ran my own design studio for over a decade. I've also lectured in design at RMIT University.
As a practicing designer for over twenty years, I’ve created brands, campaigns, books, apps, websites, services, retail stores, products and even houses.
I designed The Elements Kit to enable individuals to discover their unique creative identity and realise their life potential. I believe company culture begins one creative individual at a time.

I'm a seasoned HCD leader with over 15 years’ experience in some of Australia and UK’s foremost digital enterprises including Google, Telstra, Fjord, Accenture and AKQA.
My focus is profit-for-purpose projects that make a social impact, including the transformative re-design of the Parliament of Victoria digital experience, and leading research and strategic design initiatives for the future vision for WorkSafe Victoria.
I've co-founded and ran experience design agencies. Aligned with clients on values, purpose and results to ensure that work I do always brings value.
It's been important for me to pay it forward through contributing in design education, mentoring and storytelling on LinkedIn, Academy Xi and General Assembly.
Based in Manly, Sydney, my passion for design has led me to partner with long-term friend, Lisa Johnson, on The Elements Kit.
I truly believe in the kit's ability to help people understand, remember and appreciate their core essence and how they can become creators of their best life, relationships and careers.
