She founded her company Gravitas in 2012 with a mission to catalyze confidence.

Two months after launch, her first collection was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, People, and on Today all in the same month.Lisa is also the national best-selling author of Gravitas: The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence.
