LISA WESTAWAY

After finishing school in my hometown of Sydney, Australia, I bought a one-way ticket to London with a stopover in Los Angeles.

Yep, I’m still here.

I enrolled in advertising classes at The BookShop, and have enjoyed a great career working with national brands like McDonald’s and Safeway Supermarkets, as well as small startups.

One of my most memorable campaigns was for the Special Olympics World Games. I volunteered my creative services and my grassroots idea helped to make them the most successful games to date, spreading awareness for an often marginalized community.

I’m also honored to say, I have taught strategy classes to the next generation of upcoming creatives at The BookShop - the same amazing ad school where I started out.
