Hi, I'm Susan. I'm currently an interior designer specializing in the hospitality industry. As a passionate and detail-oriented industry professional, I enjoy approaching complex projects with a holistic approach. A large part of my success while working with people stems from my ability to cultivate an intuitive understanding of their needs, and spearhead the project from there.
