About

Hi! I’m Lisa. Nice to meet you.

I have over 10 years experience working in the web industry, with a diverse background in media and communications.

Experience

2008. MetaState Studio was established in 2008 when I began to freelance full time as a web developer. Visit my Services page to learn more about what I do.

2006-2008. I became the first Web Communications Specialist for the Surrey School District, the largest school district in British Columbia. In this role I gained a lot of content strategy experience, performed website administration and developed websites for district programs and initiatives.

2003-2006. In my role as a Marketing Coordinator with Hostelling International, I had the opportunity to learn the basics of HTML, CSS, web standards and email newsletter marketing. I took a few web development courses at BCIT and in 2005 began to freelance part time.

2003. I graduated with a B.A. (Honours) – major in Communication and minor in Psychology – from Simon Fraser University.

Offline

When I’m not sitting in front of a computer I love to:

  • Explore the wilderness (hiking, snowboarding, camping)
  • Play in the water (swimming, diving, kayaking)
  • Make music (once upon a time I was a DJ and sound producer)
  • Experiment in the kitchen
  • Grow my own food
  • Travel the world
