Jo Lis

Entrepreneur, Experience Designer, UX Interactive Creative Director, Mentor

I mindfully employ creativity, design thinking, talents and technology to proactively solve problems. I create opportunities and grow tremendous value for my clients.

I live in Midcoast Maine. I passionately study permaculture technology and design edible ecological parks, community gardens, and food forests in my spare time.

I am especially fond of collaborating with non-profits, educational institutions, and businesses focused on advocating positive change in the world.
