Caption: SUSAN: The French are masters of editing, and I believe that can make or break a design. They are also quite fearless when

______ T H R E E
Picture
Caption: SUSAN: Get lost – forget your itinerary for
a few hours, or even better, a day...and
just wander. Watch a sunrise and/or

buildings...it's magical.

Ladureé is my kryptonite.

Caption: SUSAN: Determination + a very
supportive husband! I started my design business in 2006, so I had quite a few years prior to children to get the ball rolling, but honestly, the majority of what I define as success has happened in the past three years….but hopefully there is much
more to come!
