In addition to co-founding and serving as the Chief Marketing Officer of TurboPlay, she is also an avid community builder.

Prior to her work in the Seattle tech community, Lisa has developed full-scale marketing campaigns for Nordstrom, Lucas Arts, Cartoon Network, Disney, and Mattel.

She is an accomplished speaker and presenter, most notably The Economy of Weird from TEDxSeattle 2013, in which she advocates that we can all “wear our capes to work”.
