This 14” x 40” commemorative infoposter fuses storytelling, design, and copywriting to bring a complex military engagement to life. Detailed visuals pair with a carefully structured narrative, guiding the viewer through a layered sequence of events with clarity and reverence. The intent: deliver digestible, visually compelling information that honors the men and women who put their lives on the line.

Working with Lisa at Pump Creative was probably the easiest thing for my company to do... Lisa gave options and features we didn’t even know existed. Having range to scale either down or up is probably the biggest talent a designer can have, and not just have one style. She made products fit our style, which was the whole goal in the first place.
Steve Wentz, Managing Partner, Momentum Trail Concepts
“Lisa not only got my vision but captured the essence of my mission and helped create a brand identity I can truly be proud of. We had a blast together, and she was so patient with me as I went on the journey to creating a new chapter in my life. She is a true professional with a vision that inspired me to jump in and discover the stepping stones to my next-level living... Standing in Grace, Thriving in Hope.”

BRANDING · WEBSITE BUILD
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Brandi Aspinall—a dynamic real estate agent and cancer survivor—was preparing to step into the world of public speaking. This project involved building a brand identity and message that reflected her strength, warmth, and mission. The process began with conversations around audience, purpose, and potential niche markets. Once her business model was defined, the identity system
came together organically, including a logo suite, tagline, and cohesive visual elements. A content-driven website followed, designed to support her voice with clarity and confidence.
This project reflects the value of curiosity— taking time to deeply understand a client in order to deliver branding that feels both personal and holistic.

Profound Kitchen & Cabinet Design
BRANDING · BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Amanda Bus-Sharp, founder of Profound Kitchen & Cabinet Design, has been an incredible client from day one. I was brought on to establish a full visual identity system, build a website with strategic SEO market placement, and assist in refining the company’s business model. Before rebranding, Amanda’s services were broad and somewhat disconnected. Our first priority was to clarify her offerings and define a more focused and
compelling product. Through a series of business development sessions, we established her market positioning and laid the groundwork for how her services would be communicated. I’ve created a wide range of content-rich marketing materials for PK&CD—something only possible through deep understanding of my client’s product, industry, and vision. My goal is always to build trust and foster professional relationships where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

WEBSITE · SEO · BLOG
PROJECT OVERVIEW (Digital Platforms)
A cornerstone of PK&CD’s success has been an informative, inspiring website that consistently ranked in the top five Google search results. Each web page was carefully crafted with clear, meaningful content— intended to educate, convert, and build trust.
To further support her audience, we developed a blog that offered relevant, useful insights into the kitchen and cabinet redesign process. Backed by a thoughtful SEO strategy, the site climbed search rankings steadily— earning top-page visibility within 18 months.
As Amanda’s business grew, we continued to meet regularly to assess performance, develop new business strategies, and plan for future opportunities. One such shift was the expansion into subcontracted design work for general contractors—an exciting step that brought PK&CD into larger-scale projects.
From the first discussion of what I was looking for, to the finishing touches before launch, Lisa took what I thought my website would be to a whole other level with content and graphics. I couldn’t be happier with the process, my new logo and my website!

I’m Lisa Myklak—a designer, strategist, writer, and creative collaborator. My favorite work is the kind that helps people feel empowered, seen, and supported in their business. If you’re looking for intentional design with purpose and heart, I’d love to connect.
Just in case you’re wondering what ChatGPT thinks:
“Working with Lisa is like riding a tandem bike through a wildflower field—she’s steering with clarity, vision, and strategy… while I’m just back here ringing the bell and throwing confetti. 10/10 would collaborate again.”
