Portrait of Lisa Mallinson

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Lisa — a French-English Creative Lead based in the French Basque Country.
With over a decade of experience across startups and established brands in London and internationally, I work at the intersection of brand, digital and marketing design — bringing strategic thinking and strong craft to every project.

My work spans brand identity from scratch, packaging, campaigns, e-commerce, CRM and UX — across fashion, lifestyle, tech and consumer brands. I care deeply about the work being both visually distinctive and commercially effective, and I'm at my best when I'm trusted to lead it.

Beyond the work itself, I've always been drawn to building and developing teams. I've managed and mentored designers at every stage of their careers, created the conditions for people to grow, and advocated hard for the talent around me. Leadership isn't something I do on top of the design — it's part of how I work.

Currently based between France and the UK, open to senior in-house roles where design is genuinely valued, creative ambition is matched by real responsibility, and there's room to lead.
Selected clients and companies include:
Logos: Naked Wines, Accor Group, Popsa, Reiss, Heist Studios, WGSN
