Lisa Rocha is a Los Angeles–born jewelry designer, cultural storyteller, and intuitive healer. She founded ilaments in 1997 to honor her Mexican and Native American heritage through wearable art, becoming one of the early Latina voices in the jewelry industry. Her designs weave ancestral stories, gemstone wisdom, and astrological alignment, each piece infused with prayers, intention, and her signature Native American “misplaced bead” philosophy—an offering to walk in beauty and embrace imperfection.

For over two decades, Lisa has created Healing Jewelry guided by her clairvoyant gifts, crafting adornments that support spiritual, emotional, and energetic transformation. Her work has been featured in boutiques and museums including Fred Segal, Mi Vida Boutique, the Smithsonian, The Autry, MOLAA, and internationally in Japan and Mexico. She has been highlighted in InStyle, Latina Magazine, Cosmo Latina, Teen Vogue, and her pieces continue to circulate across creative, spiritual, and community-rooted spaces.

With more than two decades of experience, her work has connected her with a diverse range of clients—from internationally recognized artists such as Morrissey to influential voices in Chicano/a music including Martha Gonzalez of Quetzal, Lila Downs, members of La Santa Cecilia, Marisa Ronstadt, and Denise Carlos. Her collaborations also extend beyond the arts, partnering with powerful community voices and leaders including poet and activist Felicia Montes, public servant Angie Jimenez, and community advocate Joana Ley. These collaborations reflect a career rooted in culture, creativity, and community impact.

As Co‑Lead Comadre for Moon, Medicine & Memory, Lisa brings her artistry, intuition, and ancestral wisdom to guide women in reconnecting with their own medicine, memory, and creative power.
