Lisa Hammett
Lisa was born in Oslo, Norway, where she was first trained as an artist by her grandfather—an established painter and craftsman. As a teenager, her artwork was featured in a museum exhibition on youth culture while she attended a performing arts high school, majoring in theater and history.
She later moved to San Francisco to attend the California College of the Arts, studying industrial design, film, photography, and fine art. While there, she created an experimental music-and-technology concept—a bomber hat that fused sound and design—which was featured in U.S. and U.K. trend publications.
Lisa has since designed and illustrated for the entertainment, action-sports, and toy industries, including roles in toy design and product development for major brands. In 2013, she expanded into film, working as a designer and art director.
Today, Lisa works as a Creative Director, Graphic Designer, and Toy Designer & Developer, building collections that bridge digital and physical products. With over 15 years of experience across apparel, film, toy, lifestyle, and boutique retail, she translates bold visual ideas into tangible design—spanning surface art, packaging, product development, and branded environments.
She collaborates with brands and visionaries to design one-of-a-kind products, launch limited-edition collections, and create immersive brand experiences with edge and soul.

Lisa was so wonderful to work with! Her rendition of the dogs captured not only their personalities but their spirit as well. She made the whole process enjoyable and so easy. I am overjoyed with the end product.
