Meet Lisa Marie Lavallee

Founder of Lavondy Design | Anishinabe Artist & Entrepreneur

Lisa Marie Lavallee is an Anishinabekwe from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory, born in Toronto and raised in Southern Alberta. Her journey reflects a deep connection to her roots, culture, and community. After spending years away from her birthplace, Lisa Marie recently returned to Toronto with a clear vision: to grow Lavondy Design into a thriving, Indigenous-owned brand that celebrates beadwork, culture, and identity on a larger scale.

The name Lavondy Design is a tribute to her parents, Sharon Lavallee and Harvey Bondy — a blending of their names that symbolizes family, legacy, and love. Every piece Lisa Marie creates is more than just art — it’s a continuation of Indigenous tradition, storytelling, and self-expression.

Through Lavondy Design, Lisa Marie specializes in bulk beaded accessories — including lanyards, wristlets, and keychains — for conferences, conventions, and cultural events. She also accepts custom medallion orders, bringing unique visions to life through intricate, meaningful beadwork.

Lisa Marie's work is grounded in culture and guided by purpose — a reflection of her journey, her people, and her passion for creating beauty that connects and empowers.
