Born in 1909 in the Swedish province Dalarna, Lisbet was the fifth child in the creatively-endowed Jobs family. In 1925 she enrolled in the Tekniska Skolen in Stockholm where she studied industrial art, design and illustration, ultimately graduating in 1930 with a focus in ceramics. Four years later she established the Jobs Ceramics and Textiles firm in Stockholm. Throughout the 1930s, Lisbet with her sister Gocken displayed her ceramics and textiles at world fairs including in Paris (1937), New York (1939), and San Francisco (1939). Lisbet also exhibited in the important exhibitions Svensk form (1942) and När skönheten kom till byn (1945) which were central to establishing the Swedish Modern Design movement. In the 1940s, Lisbet’s textile designs began being produced by her brother Peer’s newly-established press, Jobs Handtryck.

Established by Peer Jobs (1913-1989) in 1944, this Dalarna-based textile press specialized in manufacturing designs by Peer’s sisters Lisbet Jobs (1909-1961) and Ingrid “Gocken” Jobs (1914-1995). The press also collaborated with Leksand’s Handicrafts Association (Leksands Hemsljödsforening). As of 2019, the press operates out of Västanvik, Sweden.
