Lisa is a knitwear designer of Irish and Egyptian/Sudanese parentage. She spent most of her childhood in the Sudan before moving to Dublin in 1995, and she often uses the juxtaposition of both cultures as an inspiration for her creations.
She graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2005 with a BA in Fashion Design. It was here in her final year Lisa discovered her love of knitwear and it's endless abilities to create her own distinctive style. Her eye-catching contemporary and feminine knitwear is based on colour and texture, creating original designs out of soft and luxurious knitted fabrics.
With this new found passion she went on to swoop three awards for one of her unique knitted creations in the RDS National Crafts Competition.
