Meet the Creative Mind

Originally from Dubuque, Iowa and raised on the West Coast, Alisa has a background in commercial real estate and is a proactive, results driven individual with a passion for delivering value and exceptional service. While pursuing her corporate career she had the opportunity to visit Charleston on several occasions during which time she developed a love for the culture, community and overall beauty of the lowcountry. When the opportunity presented itself a few years ago, Alisa seized the opportunity to relocate to Charleston and pursue her dream of renovating an 1870s Charleston Single home in the South of Broad neighborhood that she now calls her own.

Having immersed herself in the world of corporate business, Alisa's prior experiences have been instrumental in shaping her entrepreneurial mindset, which she now channels into Ella Marie and her line of Southern-inspired jewelry. This fresh start not only in Charleston but also in translating her passion for crafting custom jewelry into a thriving new venture has contributed in its own unique way to the city she has grown to adore.

When not dedicated to her work, Alisa engages in community activities as a member of the Preservation Society, The Library Society, and the Charleston Parks Conservatory. She also indulges in dining at her favorite local spots, tending to her garden, and seeks continuous inspiration while walking her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louis and Ella Marie, in and around downtown.
