Lisa Barrette loves solving puzzles and meeting new people.
These passions come together in her role as Business and Client Development Director at ESI Design in New York City, where she has partnered with clients to help envision new National Monuments, concept workplace amenity start-ups, prototype video games, design museum exhibits and produce interactive sculptures.
Plus, she has catalogued vampire hunting kits and Picassos, planned gallery openings and raised millions for new museum exhibitions.

ESI Design has been the vanguard of Experience Design for five decades. We lead with a future-forward innovation strategy, crafting artful experiences that blend story and technology into physical spaces.

Sotheby’s

An international auction house renown for dealing in the finest high end objects, Sotheby’s is synonymous with quality. As an Exhibition Manager and Registrar, I managed the operations and logistics of dozens of public auctions and private sales each year.
Before That

I’ve also held positions in marketing, fundraising, development and operations at museums and galleries in New York and Washington DC.
Etc.
Always
Raising kids and trying to remember to hydrate.
