Lisa Baggerman Hazen’s Summary
I am a Chicago-based Web-designer/ writer/ Internet marketing specialist. I've worked in publishing for more than 13 years as a magazine editor, Web designer, book author, magazine feature writer, and Web director (pretty much in that order).
The common thread to my career has been publishing. I’ve written two books, worked for two different publishing companies, held the title of Assistant Editor, Senior Editor, Editor, Web Site Manager, Web Director, and now CEO/President of my own little business, which (for now) is just me.
I decided to start my own Web design business when we relocated from San Francisco to Chicago. I’ve been blessed with some pretty great jobs thus far. It would be pretty hard to top my job as Web Director for Chronicle Books, a position that allowed me to peruse gorgeous art, design, cooking, pop culture, and travel books every day. And before that, my role as Senior Editor for HOW allowed me to discover new designers, learn design history, and travel all over writing, researching, and spreading the good word of HOW.
But working on my own has been pretty great on its own. I’ve scored some pretty fantastic clients, including my alma mater Chronicle, mystery writer Sara Paretsky, Harper Collins San Francisco, Ark Wiley & Jobson (a San Francsico-based immigration law firm), Pilates-Pro, a site commemorating the 30th anniversary of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and writing for MomFinds, a style and shopping blog for new mothers.

Lisa Hazen Design & Editorial (Sole Proprietorship)
(Sole Proprietorship; Myself Only; Internet industry)
April 2006 — Present (2 years 2 months)
I have more than 13 years of experience in pretty much every angle of Web design. For eight years, I was Web Director of chroniclebooks.com, a San Francisco-based publisher. In this job, I did everything from manage a database of more than 2,500 books on topics including design, cooking, popular culture, and children’s books.
I managed online sales (which increased more than 700% during my tenure) and developed innovative, detailed marketing plans for individual titles. I have also written two books on user interface design and exemplary Web design. The Web is nothing short of a passion for me.
In April 2006, I moved to Chicago and founded my own firm, Lisa Hazen Design & Editorial. I’ve had the pleasure to work for clients as diverse as mystery writer Sara Paretsky, Margot Madison Creative Stationery, HarperCollins San Francisco, and
the National Center for Lesbian Rights. I’ve assembled a talented team of contracters whom I call upon for Flash, PHP, CSS, and XHTML. -
