About
I LOVE working with clients helping make their home both beautiful and functional. I am well versed in all areas of design. I have always believed that design should not only be beautiful but also functional and livable. Coming up with creative solutions for existing spaces is one of my strengths, and my diverse background helps me see projects from many angles. I love mixing vintage with modern and always like to throw in comfy textiles to create a cool, inviting, lived in look without loosing touch of the client's individual style.I provide large-scale remodels as well as simple, quick makeovers that reflect the clients personal style and taste.
I really love the connection I make with my clients. I love being able to be creative from the simple things like picking out paint colors to doing full scale remodels.

I wish there were more stars to give, because 5 does not seem enough for Suzanna. I had never worked with an interior designer before, and honestly, I was a little intimidated by the whole process of finding somebody. I had talked to designers who had outrageous budget minimums in order to just speak to them! Suzanna is extremely easy to work with -- in terms of money AND and especially in terms of design!
My husband and I just moved into a new construction home, and once we got our stuff moved in, realized we needed to start from scratch. It was blank slate, and we had no direction. Within days of finding Suzanna on Thumbtack, she came over to check out our house. We were mostly focused on our living/dining area. The minute she walked in the door, I knew I was going to hire her. She is so warm and easy to talk to...i knew she would be able to take my ideas and use her expertise to create the perfect space. She's an artist, and her eye is impeccable! Within 24 hours or so she sent me a "mood board" mock up of her suggested ideas for our room, and it was beyond anything we ever imagined. She took into account our budget, any gift cards we had, and found us items that were affordable and combinations I would have never chosen had I set out to do this on my own. I literally feel like I have the living/dining area of my dreams, and it was within budget!
Suzanna will work with you by the hour (and her rate is extremely reasonable compared to other hourly rates...especially considering she is MUCH more talented she is than any other designer I've seen) OR she will give you a flat rate. Simple and easy. She even came in a little under the hourly rate she originally given. She makes you feel as if you are her only client - always sending me links to great deals on craigslist, or links to other sales online.
I just can't say enough about Suzanna. If you want your home to be beautiful, stylish, and unique (and done on a reasonable budget) please hire her!!

Suzanna designed my bathroom remodel and it has turned out..like..pinterest perfect! :) I have never worked with a designer and sort of expected/was worried it was going to be a stuffy experience but that was sooo not the case. Suzanna included me in the design process when I wanted to be included and took over when I wanted her to take over. She came up with design solutions to meet my needs that were unique and modern and boho and cool yet warm and traditional and timeless. She advocated for me when I had issues with my contractor and was just kind of my rock throughout the whole experience! I could have neverrrr created such a beautiful bathroom on my own and I am SOOO glad I hired her!! Her fees are reasonable and she is beyond fair in how she charges for her time. She will be the first person I call when I am ready to move onto any other project in the future!

Su is an incredible designer, balancing uniquely creative uses of materials and spaces with a practical understanding of the requirements and needs of a room. She is also super hard working, a very good communicator, and has done a lot of detailed research for us to help us save money during our project (bathroom and kitchen renovation). Thank you Su!

Suzanna has been my designer on several projects in the past...a beachfront condo, a river house, an Austin condo & a single family home. She is outstanding and understands where I am coming from and she "gets" my style and does not force her style on me! She has innate talent and creativity and it comes so easily for her. Suzanna is a pleasure to work with and I have other projects on the horizon that I hope she will be able to take on too! Oh, just wanted to say that she is flexible and not rigid in her design work. She can bend and flow with your ideas and needs!
