Meet Lisa

Hello, I'm Lisa!

Some of my happiest childhood memories are of sitting with my Grandma, making little paper birds and cutting up old Christmas cards with pinking shears to turn them into gift tags. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive — just a bit of imagination, a pair of scissors and time spent together.

Before all the paint, plaster and handmade creations, I spent much of my working life as a cabaret singer — yes, really, sequins, spotlights, microphones, the lot! — and later worked in a paint-your-own ceramics studio, where I saw first-hand how much joy a little creativity can bring.

And so, here in Newton Abbot, Devon, By Lisa was born — a little business with some rather big dreams. Whether it's a teeny first handprint or a dinosaur painted three shades of green, I'd love to help you make a memory.
