desert inspired designs
illustrated and designed in Joshua Tree, CA by artist Lisa Burford.
Lisa's home studio is hugged by the mountains of Joshua Tree National Park. This unique beautiful location inspires her work and motivates her to design products that are good for the environment and good for people too.
Earth-friendly printers
I seek out printers that have earth-friendly products and practices. A few examples of these business's products and practices include: sustainably sourced paper, paper created by following the highest standards of sustainable forestry, paper that comes from trees harvested under the Sustainable Forest Initiative, paper that's processed without environmentally harmful bleach and chlorine agents, PVC free products, and waterless printing
Eco friendly packaging
Using sustainable packaging alternatives like compostable mailers, cutting down on packaging materials, reusing some boxes, shipping light weights, and using suppliers who plant trees whenever I place an order for their packaging are just some examples of eco-friendliness when it comes to packaging.
Support good causes
Either through specific products or donating a portion of proceeds during a set period of time, it is important for me to support good causes.
Work with BIPOC and Asian owned businesses
To diversify my vendors, I actively seek to work with BIPOC and Asian owned businesses.
Support local businesses
Supporting the community we live and work in is important to me and so is choosing to work with businesses that align with my values.
