Lisa Lappe, a Chicago native with a graphic design background navigated the corporate jungle for many years, but decided in 2004 to take a leap and leave the 9 to 5 grind and the cold weather behind, move to Maui and focus on her island inspired handmade jewelry.
Maui, an island in the middle of the ocean; her favorite recreation,
scuba diving; and a passion for design, Mauidivegirl Designs was born.
Her inspiration comes from the surrounding nature of the Hawaiian islands both above and below the sea with it’s life, texture, color and
patterns. Lisa’s designs combine natural shell, lava, coral, pearls, gemstones, sparkling crystals and story telling into island inspired, budget-friendly wearables, gifts, favors and keepsakes.
