Welcome to Lise-Lotte Design

If you are looking for inspiration, or a way back to your creativity — you are in the right place.

This is a community for women who want to feel more connected. To themselves. To their creativity. To the people and moments that matter most.

A little about me — perhaps you relate

I have spent a lifetime asking “what if.” Collecting materials that excite me. Being drawn to textiles, flowers, paper, clay and pattern. Interested in the light. Making things constantly. Always curious, always learning.

My daily creativity practice includes writing and taking pictures — sometimes to share in my newsletter or on Instagram, sometimes just to explore and collect for myself.

Noticing the world around me is at the centre of everything I do and everything I teach.

I believe that creativity isn’t a talent you either have or don’t. It’s a practice. A way of moving through the world. And it’s available to you — exactly as your life is right now.

What brought me here

I have always been creative through my work with children, youth and adults in educational settings, science world in Vancouver and corporate and small business. My educational background in Human and Social Development informs my creativity framework and practice.

My 38 year long facilitation practice has always been deeply rooted in experiential learning.

My creativity practice has helped me through some difficult times – the years of caregiving for my disabled elderly parents, and the profound experience of loss.

When my youngest daughter Ilse died suddenly of a brain aneurysm at age 21, I had a choice. I could long for the past, or I could learn how to carry my grief and create a life of joy and meaning anyway.

I chose to lean into beauty.

I started my cyanotype journey. I kept writing. I kept making. And I connected — with women online and in person — who were finding their own way back to themselves through creativity.

This community became one of the greatest gifts of my life. It is where I serve, share, learn and laugh. And it is where I would love to welcome you.

Ways we can explore together

Every Thursday I send a free newsletter to your inbox on connection through creativity — come join us there first.

On YouTube I share videos on creativity, noticing, and living a more meaningful creative life.

My course Creative Again is built on my own framework, the Flora Creativity Practice — a gentle, sustainable path back to your creative self.

I run creativity and noticing challenges throughout the year because the skill of noticing is one of the most important skills in a creative life.

I also offer seasonal workshops, online and sometimes in person here on Vancouver Island. I announce these opportunities in my newsletter first.

And if you are drawn to blue and white— my cyanotypes are available in my Etsy shop.

I grow specialty flowers on my urban flower farm for events, subscriptions, and for people who want to show their kindness in the world.

I would love to know what your relationship to creativity is.
Write to me anytime: hello@Lise-Lotte.ca

I’m so glad you are here.

I wish you peace on your path,
Lise-Lotte
