Founded in 2001 and located in the vibrant Detroit-Metro area, Lisa Samartino Design is a culmination of my lifelong passion for design and aesthetics. With nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in creating and developing brands for the retail and lifestyle sectors, serving both clients and agencies alike!
My approach is centered on delivering value through design, allowing you to concentrate on what matters most—growing your business. I pride myself on building strong connections with each client and leveraging my network of talented professionals to tailor our collaboration to your unique project needs.
In addition to my design work, I have a deep love for stationery and proudly offer my own line of greeting cards and stationery products available in retail shops.
I am a firm believer that intelligent, beautiful design has the power to enhance our world. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life!

BRAND IDENTITY
I spend a great deal of time working out which font, color and image are perfect for your brand identity. To achieve this distinct tone, there's a lot of fine crafting that goes into the final product. Branding can include everything from a logo, to a website, and all print collateral in between.
PRINT
There's nothing like the textural feel of a printed piece. Whether a brochure, annual report, ad or print collateral -- the choice of paper texture, weight and size is crucial to make your piece memorable and relay your message with sophistication.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Creating inspiring and functional environments for commercial or residential environments is one of my specialties . From wall vinyls, paintings, structural displays to movie set artwork,
I can accommodate all your needs.
SOCIAL
I offer integral design services including product/service design, branding and editorial design. My work focuses on driving social initiatives to advance clients brands in the social space.
STATIONERY
I have a full-line of greeting cards, boxed invitations and journal sets in retail locations. I design custom wedding and party invitations, from small affairs to celebrity events! The invitation sets the tone for any event, so it deserves to be exquisite! I take a limited number of custom orders per year for wedding, holiday and corporate events.
HOME
I've had home fabric and accessories available through minted.com. These included curtains, pillows, table runners and more to bring style to your living space. I am available for pattern design and production needs from design to finished product.
