Meet Our Team
Lisa Montalvo
Architectural + Interior Designer, Project Manager
What's your role at H2D? How long have you been with the company?
Architectural and Interior Designer/Project Manager. I've been with H2D coming up on 10 years in March 2025.
What inspired you to pursue a career in architecture and/or interior design?
I loved art and math throughout school and my high school art teacher suggested I look into studying architecture during a conversation we had about creative majors I should consider in college.
What's your go-to design style or inspiration?
I personally love the NW Modern style but when it comes to working with clients my go-to style is whatever the client's go-to style is! I love the variety of styles we get to work on at H2D.
What's one thing you'd like clients to know about the design process?
Expect surprises along the way. Whether it's an obscure code that requires a change or something found during demolition there is usually a bump or two along the way. Don't fret though, our team loves a challenge and will work hard to find the best solution to any unexpected issue that arises.
If you could instantly learn any skill, what would it be?
Pottery
What's your favorite place you've traveled to?
Cairo, Egypt. The food, history, and markets put this at the top of my list!

What's one trend in design you'd love to see a comeback?
The formal sitting/living room. Whether it's formal or not I love a space dedicated to conversation with no TV distraction.
If you were a superhero, my superpower would be ____________________.
Super strength!
What's your favorite season? And why?
Fall. I love the cooler temperatures, the foliage, and the flavors!
