Liza Plotnikova, Designer

A self-described “nerd,” Liza is both quirky and creative. Her goal as a graphic designer is to take a client’s vision and “make it cool.” A love of the arts runs in her family (she is originally from Saint Petersburg, Russia, where her grandmother was a Russian theater artist). Liza moved to San Luis Obispo four years ago to attend Cal Poly, where she earned a degree in graphic design. In her free time, Liza can sometimes be found riding her bike through wine country.
