Built on relationships. Grounded in craft.

THE ZINC DIFFERENCE

What sets us apart isn’t just the range of our experience — it’s the depth of it. We’ve sat at the contractor’s table, managed procurement at the purchase order level, coordinated bids, and produced construction documents. We understand what it takes to get a design from paper to reality, because we’ve done every part of that journey.

​A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

I’m Lisa Oleynik, the designer behind Zinc. I grew up in this industry working across some of Denver’s most respected design firms, and before that, contributing to landmark projects including the Union Station redevelopment in Washington, DC. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Colorado State University and have been a LEED Accredited Professional since 2009.

I started Zinc because I wanted to bring all of that experience to practice that is built around genuine relationships. Every project we take on gets our full attention, from the first conversation to the final walk-through.
