About
Guten Tag!
I am Lisa Green Bolhuis of Bolhuis Design. Let me share a little of my background with you.
I am a web and graphic designer. I came to this field after 15+ years in the entertainment industry as a producer of DVD Menus, added value, DVD Games, Board Games, Websites, and Online Digital Worlds. As a producer, I soaked up everything I could learn from the different people I worked with and would often step in when needed to edit video, edit audio, handle Photoshop production work – whatever needed to be done. Bolhuis Design is about bringing the process, the creativity, and the technical know-how to you in one package.
I have always had a knack for learning computer programs and already knew HTML/CSS. Then in 2010, a friend got me my first Word Press site gig. Ever since I have been using my skills to create websites and print work for a variety of clients.
With Bolhuis Design you don’t have to be afraid of your web designer. I won’t throw out tons of jargon just to impress you, unless you want me to. Any questions you have, I am here to answer. Any issues with your current web site or print job, I am here to help. Just contact me. If I can assist, I will.
