Hi, I'm Susan!

Creating has always been at the heart of who I am, but everything truly fell into place when I discovered surface design and illustration. It felt like finding my creative home—a place where my ideas could come alive. Nestled in Toledo, Ohio, I draw endless inspiration from the nearby wooded parks, invigorating hiking trails, and peaceful kayak adventures. Life here is shared with my wonderful husband, two charming cats, and our lively Boston Terrier, who never fails to keep things lively and fun. My sketchbooks overflow with spontaneous doodles and quirky shapes—little bursts of creativity that often find their way into my designs, adding that special touch of personality.

When I’m not immersed in design, you might catch me planning my next DIY project—I have a soft spot for power tools (imagine a playful Tim the Tool Man growl here). Embracing creative chaos is where I find joy, and I’m always eager to explore new ways to sprinkle art, curiosity, and delight into everyday moments.
