Suzie McMurtry



bio

I am an interdisciplinary designer from the San Francisco Bay Area. I work as a freelance design researcher, most recently full time in London with Policy Lab UK, where I explored using serious games in energy regulation change, systems change theories in improving social care, film ethnography in building evidence for increasing opportunities for young people, and more. I completed an MA in Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in 2022.

Broadly, I’m interested in socio-ecological systems. I have a background in fiber and printmaking and worked primarily in sustainable fashion from 2017 to 2023.

My practice is directed towards exploring climate resilience, circularity, greenwashing, and regenerative design. I have engaged with these themes using tools from speculative, clothing, material, service, and social design. I have shown my artwork in Colorado and California and my design work in the UK and the Netherlands.


I’m open to full time design research roles on teams with positive public impact. Please reach out regarding my availability for collaborating!
