Visual design that feels like Maui and performs like Silicon Valley.
Lisa Tusberg is a graphic designer and front-end web developer based in Kihei. I create visual brands, websites, and digital experiences for Maui businesses — and bring the same craft to larger product and marketing teams.
I help local businesses and organizations look and feel intentional — through brand identity, websites, digital content, and photography that reflect the place they serve. At the same time, I bring the discipline of large-scale product and marketing work: clear systems, strong visual hierarchy, and interfaces that actually work.
Whether you need a polished website for a Maui business or a visual designer who can move fluidly between brand, product, and code, I work the same way: thoughtfully, precisely, and with the end user in mind.
Real World Experience
Every case study below highlights real work from my career—including actual design collateral from Stanford University, my LMS & multimedia architecture at Haggai International, and interactive front-end demos showing how I combine visual design, video production, UX/UI thinking, and clean code.

Alongside my enterprise and institutional roles, I have designed and built custom websites for businesses in Maui, Hawaiʻi and Half Moon Bay, California—including www.hellerarch.com ↗, www.cameronspub.net ↗, and hmbrvpark.com ↗.

Re-architected the outdated site into a modern, single-page responsive Bootstrap 5.3 coastal experience with Fraunces & Plus Jakarta Sans typography, a welcoming Coastal Sunset Hero & $100/Night Full Hook-Up Rate Card (moving negative restrictions into the Terms section), embedded Aerial Drone Video Tour, interactive Park Site Map, and click-through photo lightbox.
