Lisa Staprans

Designer, Author

Lisa Staprans has over 25 years of interior design experience, having worked on high profile award winning residential and commercial projects around the country. Based in bucolic Portola Valley, California, Lisa gains inspiration from the beauty of nature that surrounds her as well as the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley.

Lisa honors the “soul of design” through all of her projects. She believes that artistically driven and emotionally connective interiors have the ability to transform ones entire state of being. She embraces an ethos of social and fair trade responsibility, seeking out craftspeople and manufacturers who share the same philosophy. Her travels throughout the world have led to collaborations with indigenous artisans that can be seen not only in Lisa’s interiors but also in the beautiful things created and procured from her travels available for sale on One King’s Lane and Chairish.

Lisa has spent her career in collaboration, teaming with some of the most talented architects, contractors, artisans and fabricators throughout the Bay Area and across the country. She gets that to produce the best results for her clients, the design team must function as an integrated and aligned unit. She is eager to bring in the best people for any given project and also easily jumps into existing contractor-architect relations with her interior design expertise.

Lisa is currently working on her first book, The Soul of Design and the Neuroscience of Beauty due out in early 2014, and her first fabric line: The Social Fabric.
