Lisa Armstrong is a designer, musician, and facilitator based in Chicago. Her work navigates the slippery tensions between emergent technologies and traditional print-based design tools. By incorporating sound design, moving images, and lights as materials, she strives to make work that stirs the senses—making people question their perspectives and examine their own layers of humanity. Her work is collaborative by nature, participatory by design, and motivated by community.
Lisa actively serves on the board of the Chicago Printers Guild as part of the Design Bureau. She is also a volunteer organizer of the Love Fridge Chicago, a mutual-aid network working toward food sovereignty by sustaining free food community refrigerators. Currently, she performs and records music in the electronic music duo Drasii and co-produces a monthly show on Lumpen Radio called Chando Radio. In 2024, Lisa began Shape Shift Press as an outlet for publishing artist’s books, pieces of writing, and other collaboratively produced print materials.
