A little about me.
Hello! Thank you for checking out my work and taking the time to learn a bit more about me. My name is Suz, I originally hail from the state of Ohio, but have been calling Indianapolis home for over 10 years. I earned my degree in Visual Communications with a concentration in Publication Design and Informational Graphics from Ohio University. Go, Bobcats! My career has led me through multiple concentrations and areas of design, which I’ve been fortunate enough to play an important role in many of those projects for a wide range of clients.
I’ve worked with clients of all sizes; from smaller restaurants and startups, to large enterprise companies in the pharma, healthcare and tech industries. To name a few: Salesforce, Slack, Humana, Eli Lilly & Co., Cummins, Brooks Life Sciences, Hamilton Exhibits, Ice Miller, Indiana Sports Corp., Limestone Bank, IU Health, West Fork Whiskey, Starbucks, Indiana Pacers, Kappa Alpha Theta, and more!
Outside of work, my biggest role in life is Mom to my beautiful daughter. She keeps me busy and constantly in motion, but when we get to slow down, our favorite activity together is arts and crafts, watching her love for creating and building is a moment I can’t get enough of!
