Hello, I'm Susan
My interior design philosophy is centered on creating timeless, comfortable spaces that truly reflect the people who live in them. I believe every home should feel personal, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed around each client’s lifestyle, story, and everyday life.
I’m especially drawn to natural materials and organic textures that bring warmth and character into a space — from wood and linen to hand-blown glass, forged metal, and aged brass. I love combining these elements in a way that feels refined, relaxed, and easy to live in.
The goal is always to create spaces that feel elevated, enduring, and uniquely personal. Based in Charlotte, I bring more than 20 years of hands-on design and renovation experience to every project, from kitchens and bathrooms to full living spaces and exterior environments.

WHAT I BELIEVE
Design Philosophy
Every design decision I make it guided by a few core beliefs about what makes a home truly beautiful and livable
01
Nature as Foundation
Natural materials age gracefully, feel honest underhand, and connect us to something larger than ourselves. They belong in every home.
02
Your Story, Not Mine
I don't have a signature look I impose on every client. My job is to listen, understand, and create something that is unmistakably yours.
03
Built to Last
I source with intention — choosing quality over trend, timeless over trendy, so your home still feels right a decade from now.
