About Materialize
Eastern Canada
Lisa Parise, a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in A&D sales within the Canadian market, is the dynamic founder of Materialize Inc. Her entrepreneurial journey began remarkably just three months postpartum with her second child, fueled by a quest for genuinely sustainable and transparent products.
Materialize Inc. is a testament to Lisa's commitment to her three core pillars: design excellence, transparency, and sustainability. Her company's inception was meticulously planned during her maternity leave, with her mother's unwavering support. Lisa skillfully crafted the company's marketing strategy during this period and nurtured connections with like-minded brands, often working during her child's nap times.
Today, Lisa's adeptness at balancing her professional commitments with her family life is admirable. She successfully manages her thriving Toronto-based business while savoring moments with her husband, two children, and their two playful dogs, who amusingly influence her palette selections. Lisa's journey from a passionate professional in A&D sales to a successful entrepreneur in the sustainable product space is not just inspiring but a testament to her dedication and innovative spirit.
