Influential Women Highlights Lisa Osborn: Creative Entrepreneur Blending Design, Hospitality, and Community
Lisa Osborn is a creative, community-driven entrepreneur whose career reflects a deep passion for design, hospitality, and meaningful human connection. As the Owner of Graze Craze Downtown San Diego, Lisa brings people together through beautifully curated charcuterie and grazing experiences that transform gatherings into intentional, artful celebrations. Built from the ground up, her business is a natural extension of her belief that food—like design has the power to create connection, spark joy, and elevate life’s most meaningful moments.
With more than 13 years of experience in residential window treatments and motorized shade solutions, Lisa is also highly respected for her expertise in home technology and interior design. Her professional foundation in design—paired with a degree in psychology—gives her a unique ability to understand not only how a space functions, but how it makes people feel. This dual perspective allows her to create environments that are visually cohesive, emotionally supportive, and tailored to the lifestyles and needs of her clients.
Recently, Lisa was featured on The Story That Built You podcast, where she shared her journey of reinvention, resilience, and entrepreneurship. In the episode, she reflects on the pivotal decisions, mindset shifts, and moments of courage that shaped both her design career and the launch of Graze Craze. Her story offers insight into what it truly means to evolve professionally while staying aligned with your values and passions.
Lisa’s career journey is one of intentional growth. Across multiple industries, she has built and rebuilt her professional path, consistently returning to her core strengths: creativity, connection, and elevating everyday experiences. In 2025, she trained for and successfully hiked Half Dome in Yosemite—a personal milestone that mirrors her professional mindset—marked by discipline, determination, and a willingness to step beyond comfort zones in pursuit of growth.
She attributes her success to trusting her intuition and embracing new challenges, even when the way forward felt uncertain. Early in her career, her love for interior design shaped her professional identity, driving her to approach each project with care and intention. Launching Graze Craze opened new doors for fulfillment, allowing her to combine hospitality, artistry, and community-building in a way that feels deeply aligned.
Throughout her journey, Lisa has been guided by the best advice she ever received: trust your gut and say yes before you feel fully ready. She believes real growth happens when you lean into opportunities that stretch you. To young women entering the design or hospitality industries, she encourages confidence, self-advocacy, and believing deeply in their own vision.
In increasingly competitive industries, she sees immense opportunity as clients seek personalization, authenticity, and elevated experiences. By combining creativity, strong relationships, and an unwavering commitment to quality, she believes it is possible to stand out and build lasting brand loyalty.
Whether crafting a grazing display that sets the tone for a celebration or guiding homeowners through thoughtful design solutions, Lisa Osborn leads with authenticity, heart, and a deep commitment to her community. Passionate about empowering women, supporting small businesses, and embracing evolution at every stage of life, she embodies her belief that beauty, intention, and human connection can transform both spaces and experiences.
