Suzanne started her career in technology services in the banking and brokerage industry in New York but always dreamt of doing something more creative. She began taking graduate classes in color, drafting, and interior design and then started consulting for family, friends, and private clients on color, room organization and project management. After relocating to Nantucket full time, she began a complete restoration, renovation, and addition on her historic home. Through this project, she realized she could help others with designing their dream homes and managing the complexities of this work on an island. Suzanne saw a need for clients to have access to more design sources and reasonably priced goods on the island so she opened a home design store. She has helped many of her customers complete designs in a cost effective and timely manner. She has first hand knowledge of a vast array of manufacturers and suppliers that she brings to each project. She has an exceptional ability to work with clients to determine functional needs, develop creative solutions, and overlay all with timeless beauty.
