About me

Hello, I’m Lisa "van" Goff. I am a Senior Art Director and Designer based in London. I'm a strong all-rounder with over 10 years experience, an ambitious, energetic and hard-working Aussie. I believe in creating work that people actually want to interact with. Something that moves you. Compels you. Excites you. I work in whatever way achieves the best result: film, social, event, installation, print... No boundaries. Connected. I am an innately curious person, full of ideas and a can-do attitude. I understand the commercial world and can produce and direct beautiful, crafted work. I understand the techie and print production bits. I do the whole lot – idea through to amazing end results.
