About Me
The Story Behind Vintage Honey Co.
Vintage Honey Co. was born from a lifelong fascination with spaces that carry history, character, and a sense of lived experience. Long before pursuing interior design professionally, Lisa was drawn to historic homes, museums, antiques, and the quiet details that give a space soul, the worn patina of aged materials, collected objects passed through generations, and interiors that feel shaped slowly over time rather than perfectly staged.
​
With a background in classical studies, art history, and museum education, her approach to design is deeply rooted in storytelling. Her years working in museum education, including at the J. Paul Getty Museum, further shaped the way she thinks about spaces, not simply as functional environments, but as places layered with meaning, memory, craftsmanship, and cultural influence. Years spent studying ancient art, architecture, and cultural motifs continue to influence the way she thinks about interiors today: as environments layered with memory, symbolism, craftsmanship, and emotional connection.
​
Her work blends eclectic vintage influences with timeless design, mixing old and new to create interiors that feel collected, layered, and personal. Working across both renovation and furnishing projects, Lisa is involved in every detail of the home, from kitchens and bathrooms to millwork, molding, lighting, windows, materials, furnishings, and finish selections. She works closely with architects, contractors, and trades throughout the design process to create homes that feel cohesive, functional, and reflective of the people who live in them.
​
The name Vintage Honey Co. reflects that philosophy. “Vintage” speaks to a love of history, collected pieces, and enduring design, while “Honey” represents warmth, comfort, and the feeling of home. The scarab within the brand identity serves as a personal symbol of transformation, resilience, and renewal, an emblem rooted in ancient history that reflects the belief that homes, much like people, evolve over time.
Today, Vintage Honey Co. creates interiors that balance beauty with livability, homes that feel thoughtful, personal, and connected to the people who inhabit them. Drawing inspiration from European interiors, travel, antiques, craftsmanship, and everyday rituals, Lisa believes the most meaningful spaces are the ones that tell a story.

A Philosophy Rooted in Story + Intention
I do not design around trends. I design around the macro-sentiment of a home. The deeper feeling created by how someone lives, moves, and grows within a space.
​
Materials, color, pattern, and layout are chosen not only for beauty but for how they support daily life. Function matters just as much as feeling. A home should work for the way you live today and remain flexible enough to evolve with you over time.
​
I prioritize enduring materials that age gracefully and develop character. Your travels, rituals, memories, and future moments all layer together to create a home that feels collected, grounded, and deeply personal.
