“She’s a design superstar.”

I first met Susan less than two years ago over coffee. It was a business meeting as I am the Editor of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles. During that first encounter I selected three of her projects to run in the magazine. That had never happened before in my five years as editor. I think she’s a design superstar. As I have gotten to know her, I now know that she’s also a soulful person and that too, comes through in her design. She truly listens and is open to ideas, both qualities that make her a dream collaborator. She creates living spaces that are beautiful, warm and livable. Not showrooms, but real homes that are designed for life where dinner is a group project, home work needs to be done and people can relax from the day or recharge before it. In my role as an art consultant I find working with Susan to be sheer joy. She loves the challenge of making a space just right for her clients. Because she loves art, she understands the importance of using it to elevate home design. It's never about ego, it's always about great design. I consider myself lucky to work with her. - Kate Meyers, Editor-in-Chief, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles

“Terrific taste … discerning eye”

Hiring Susan to help me update and decorate our home has been one of the best decisions we have made as home owners.  I loved working with Susan and recommend her to anyone who wants to transform their living space.  From the start, Susan was quick to capture my ideas and turn it into a vision we shared.  A Pinterest pro, Susan crafted boards specific to each room in my house, and pinned inspirational pictures that reflected our overall goal for the room, as well as specific items to order. The Pinterest boards were extremely helpful as they gave me a tool to involving my family in the decision making process. Susan gets things done! She made time to talk in person to make sure we were on track, met me at stores to select specific items, and even ordered and shopped for me. With her art and museum background, she has terrific taste and a discerning eye. Having her curate and select items was a true gift. In addition, Susan was completely sensitive and respectful of our budget and preferences. Her list of contacts was equally impressive and she introduced me to some of the best trades people in town. - Emily A

“A joy to have as a partner”

Susan has a perfect balance of engaging in the creative process and keeping the project moving along toward decisions. She helped us create a home that is a reflection of us, yet is stylish and contemporary. She’s mindful of budget, helping you source things that fit in your budget yet encouraging you to invest in quality where appropriate. Most importantly she’s easy to work with and a joy to have as a partner. - Amy C

“Innate sense of style”

Susan brought so much energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the task of helping me pick my house colors. I wasn't feeling good about the colors I'd chosen on my own, and Susan helped me think more broadly about the options, listened to my feedback, and offered suggestions that were aligned with my tastes. She brings her own innate sense of style to her work, but she has a way of inspiring the client to identify her own tastes and make choices accordingly. After only a few short sessions with Susan, I went from uncertainty about our house colors to excitement. I'll hire her again when I need any type of design guidance. - Jenny C
