I’m Lisa Maria Marquis.

I’m a consultant who thrives on strategizing and organizing complex digital information.

And complex digital information is everywhere. It’s what our websites, apps, and intranets are made of. It’s so prevalent that we take it for granted, not realizing that information needs deliberate structure and strategy in order to be effective.

That’s my job. I work with design, content, and product teams to help them get unruly informational systems under control, and make content easier for people to find, use, and manage.

Got a tricky information or content problem to solve? Let’s talk.

Read my book.

Everyday Information Architecture (2019) is a practical guide for designers, content strategists, developers, product managers, and everyone else interested in building well-structured digital content. Available in print and ebook formats.

Take my workshops.

I offer independent workshops on information architecture topics in the fall and spring—check back for upcoming dates. I also offer workshops for teams and conferences.

Sign up for my newsletter.

The Future Is Like Pie is a monthly newsletter with a brief essay and links to interesting writing about design, technology, politics, and culture. I bet you’d like it.
