A framing career by design
A framing career
by design! Our Scottish and Cumbria area sales manager Lisa Frazer Orrick joined the team in November 2019. With a passion for creative industries, she hit the ground running – and is now at full speed again having been unavoidably couped up at home for the middle part!

Lisa has always loved art and design. As a teenager she was a talented sketcher and painter but despite having achieved a good grade at GCSE in Art Design, she took a business and finance route with her GNVQs and developed an interest in sales. Throughout her twenties, Lisa worked in various selling capacities across numerous sectors including house moving, retail, gifts and greeting cards.
After 15 successful years, Lisa started to crave a more creative environment where she could utilise her passion for art and design. She studied for a Diploma in Interior Design at BCID which she successfully completed in 2019.
Although originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, by this time Lisa had met and married her husband David (who is also an area sales manager) and moved to Airdrie, Lanarkshire, from where David hails. In fact, Lisa used her own new kitchen as the final assignment of her diploma, planning right down to the lighting, electrics and even the copper tap!
Lisa’s next target was to get a job where she could combine her sales and account management skills with her passion for all things creative… and so she was thrilled to get her current role with Larson-Juhl UK. Despite the challenges of lockdown, she feels she has learned huge amounts about the sector and is now thriving on getting back to normal.
In her spare time, Lisa loves nothing more than planting and pottering in her garden. Travelling, good food and wines are also a passion, along with walking and Pilates to keep fit. Follow her on Facebook @lisafrazerorrick
“I love the art and framing industry! And I hope that my customers and colleagues can see this passion,” she told 4walls, “and while I cover a big patch, I am getting round to see as many customers as I possibly can as quickly as I can this year. To all my customers, I say I am here to help and support you – please get in touch!”
