Introducing Lisa – Founder of Heron and Haven

Hi everyone, I’m Lisa. I’m based in East Cork and live in a little cottage with my wonderful husband and our loveliest little dog.

I’ve always believed in the great spirit that lies at the heart of Irish communities. For years I have seen that through my work as a Social Care Worker. Community brings connection and recently I feel we have all learned more about the immense value of this.


“Spread and encourage the spirit of giving, the joy of connection and the beauty of Irish creativity”


Creativity is so important to me and I am so passionate about promoting the enormous variety of creative talent that Irish makers possess. I am hoping that you will join me in celebrating it and bring some joy to others while supporting local artisans.

Whether it’s giving a specially made piece of art to your best friend to celebrate their wedding or sending a beautifully hand-illustrated card to tell someone you are thinking of them, we hope that you will delight in the joy that connection brings to each and every one of us.
