ABOUT ME
My name is Kate Lisewski. I am a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. My body of work includes set design, prop design & fabrication, 3.D. modeling, architectural & masterplan C.A.D. illustrations, as well as concept packages for themed environments & experiences.
My extensive experience in the restaurant & hospitality industry has molded me into the detail-oriented creative problem solver that I am today, & has well-prepared me for a career in a fast-paced & ever-changing environment.
Aside from art & design, I love any type of puzzle, rocking out on both the piano & the drums, & cheering on my beloved Buffalo Bills.
I can't wait to collaborate with you on your next project!
