Suzie is an artist, designer, and researcher from the San Francisco Bay Area currently living in London. She works as a design researcher, most recently with Policy Lab UK, and completed an MA in Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in 2022. 

Broadly, she’s interested in socio-ecological systems. She has a background in fiber & printmaking & has been working in sustainable fashion since 2017. Her making & research practice is directed towards exploring climate resilience, circularity, greenwashing, & regenerative design. She engages with these themes using speculative, clothing, material, service, & social design.
