Lisa
Ficarra Shepherd has over 28 years experience in both residential and commercial
interior design. She believes that each interior she creates should be as
individual as the client she is working with.
Lisa graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design from Western Michigan University. She attended post graduate studies at Parsons School of Design and Boston Architectural College. Following her formal education, Lisa continued her studies abroad, working with architects to study architectural history in Rome, Italy.
Upon returning to the U.S., Lisa worked with a prominent New York architect designing airline facilities, and later as a senior designer for a Boston firm creating interiors for software corporations.
After relocating to Naples, Lisa spent 10 years working with the venerable designer Holland Salley, whose unique residential portfolio inspired her to segue from primarily commercial to residential design. Lisa formed her own company six years ago, applying the skills she developed from her diverse experience into an interior design company that is known for creativity and client focus.
Lisa is an allied Member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers.) She has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia searching for inspirational architectural elements to incorporate into her designs. Lisa, whose work has been published in n magazine, Focus Magazine, Homes & Condo and Gulfshore Life, was also selected to be featured in Spectacular Homes of Florida, an exclusive showcase of Florida's finest designers. She has received several design awards, and finds her greatest professional gratification in "a very satisfied client."
