My name is Lisa! I am a lover of all things cheese, animals, the ocean, family, good friends, food and travel. I am born and raised in Branford, CT and loved growing up on the shoreline. There is something about beaches, the sound of waves and anything nautical that are the essence of this town.

Growing up in an Italian household has instilled in me so many values and traditions. Each time I make a board, it really transports me to my upbringing and it’s nostalgic of how food can bring people together with laughter and love. I love to see people happy and strive to make beautiful boards for everyone to enjoy in good company.

Board 145 truly came about from my love of being able to have a creative outlet with what I love most..FOOD. Always having parties at our house and getting creative with all sorts of platters, no matter what the occasion or holiday, even for family gatherings really enabled me to bring Board 145 to fruition. Opening Board 145 has brought me such joy and I hope to bring that to your table and next gathering or event.
