Since 1983 Lisa Whited has been providing space planning and interior design services to commercial clients. A certified interior designer, Whited’s work focuses on the connection between facility design and organizational success. Understanding an organization’s strategic plan, goals and culture helps create a strong facility design that will allow an organization to achieve its goals. This belief drove Whited to earn an M.S. in Organization and Management from Antioch New England Graduate School, augmenting her interior design and architecture education and allowing her to provide further services to her clients.
Nationally recognized for her efforts to attain legislation for interior designers, Whited’s influence is felt through her tireless work on behalf of the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA, formerly FIDER), International Interior Design Association (IIDA) and the Maine Interior Design Association (MIDA). An advocate for collaboration among the architectural, engineering and interior design professions, Whited believes that a team that includes the client, contractor, designers and other professionals from the beginning of a project creates the strongest result. A sought after speaker and accomplished writer, she serves as adjunct faculty to several New England schools and has published numerous articles.
