About Me


For the past fifteen plus years, Susan has been producing and selling effective designs to both large advertising agencies, as well as in-house creative teams.

She believes effective design revolves around one simple rule; presentation is key and in order to sell an idea, you must do your homework. You can produce "great work" but if your designs aren't meeting the client's needs, they are useless.
