About

Lisa Meid
Adjunct Senior Writer
Lisa's experiences range from founding and editing a 32-page local arts, entertainment and culture weekly to writing, producing and hosting a lifestyle segment on an ABC affiliate and leading a creative team on hundreds of content and branding projects. This hands-on experience has naturally shaped her approach to writing - that being to research tirelessly, edit mercilessly and to never (ever) miss a deadline.
For the past seven years, she has brought her publicity, PR and media experience to her positions as Creative Director and Senior Writer in Champaign-Urbana and to project-based writing assignments of every sort. Whether speechwriting, ghost writing or building a brand construct, Lisa's writerly curiosity, attention to detail and strict commitment to deadlines keep her constantly abreast of existing and emerging mediums, industries and endeavors.
A food aficionado, gardener and a mom, Lisa spends her free time "creative directing" everything from dinner party menus to high school dances.
