Lisa Samartino Design was born for my passion for good design and aesthetics.
Founded in 2001 and based in the Detroit-Metro area -- I design and develop brands
for retail & lifestyle markets from clients to agencies. With almost three decades of experience, I focus on creating value with design, so you can focus on business.
I build connections with each client and have
a network of professionals to collaborate with
to customize your project needs.
I have an adoration for stationery and have
my own line of greeting cards
and stationery products in retail shops.
I believe that smart, exquisite design can improve the world.

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 have home fabric and accessories that are available through minted.com. These include 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.
