About us

Hi, I'm Lisa Dolan.

Many people know me as the owner and designer behind Lee Lee's Valise, the Brooklyn boutique that helped women find a style that fit not only their bodies, but their lives. My designs were featured on TLC's What Not to Wear with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, which eventually led to my own reality television series, Big Brooklyn Style on TLC and BBC.

Today, my creative journey has taken a new direction. I am now the author of The Brooklyn Witch: The Battle for Brooklyn, the first novel in an urban fantasy series that blends Brooklyn, folklore, family, mystery, and magic.

Alongside my husband Jim, I also host the weekly podcast Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!) where we discuss storytelling, books, television, pop culture, creativity, Brooklyn life, folklore, spirituality, and whatever else sparks our curiosity. This channel is home to our podcast, book discussions, author updates, behind-the-scenes conversations, and the occasional unexpected adventure.

Whether you've followed me from the boutique, television, writing, or simply discovered me through The Brooklyn Witch, we're glad you're here.
