bio

Suzie is an artist, designer, and researcher from the San Francisco Bay Area currently living in London where she recently completed an MA in Material Futures at Central Saint Martins.

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.

She's shown her artwork in Colorado & California, & her design work in the UK and the Netherlands.


I’m open to work! Please reach out regarding my availability for workshops, material consulting, or design & visual research.

workshops and teaching

2019 - 2023




As a workshop leader, I aim to co-create group dynamics where creative confidence is accessible to all. Recently I’ve been hired to lead workshops in natural dyeing & color modification, sustainable design, plastics upcycling, & sewing in community centres, within secondary school art programs, & at conventions.



The above images are from the third Climate Action Market at the Chalton Street Market in Somers Town. The plastics upcycling workshop was designed with Coline Le Quenven and Afterlife Practice.
