She also oversees inventory for the firm’s showroom and office, helping curate accessories and maintain a thoughtful range of options that support the designers’ work and reflect a variety of project styles. Known for her attention to detail, Susan helps keep projects on track by carefully sourcing products, coordinating with vendors, and managing orders from placement through delivery.Susan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Michigan State University.

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with family, friends, and her dog. She is currently updating her own home and enjoys stretching her creative muscles by experimenting with new ideas and design details.
