Creative Vision

I create to transcend boundaries between art and function, forging emotional connections through visual narratives that illuminate complex ideas, catalyze meaningful cultural conversations, and constantly evolve at the bleeding edge of design and technology.

This vision drives every project I undertake—whether developing brand identities, crafting digital experiences, or exploring experimental visual territories.
It’s my commitment to work that matters, resonates, and endures.

Personal Bio

I’m Susan, a visual designer and creative technologist based in South Carolina, US. My work explores the boundary between digital and physical experiences, creating immersive sensations that engage multiple senses.

For over 25 years, I’ve been developing my unique perspective on creative visual communication, inspired at a young age as a visual artist. Winning prestigious art gallery awards and selected as a visual art student at Furman University in high school taught by worldwide renowned artists.
My background in graphic design and computer programming has shaped my approach to design as both an artistic expression and gateway to explore new technologies that push creative boundaries.

My Approach

I believe that the most powerful visual experiences emerge when art and technology converge. My creative process blends traditional design principles with cutting-edge tools
and techniques, resulting in work that feels both timeless and innovative.

Every project begins with deep research and exploration, followed by conceptual development that considers both aesthetic impact and functional requirements. The result is
design that not only looks compelling but also achieves specific communication goals.

Values

  • Innovation: Pushing boundaries to create fresh visual experiences
  • Craftsmanship: Attention to detail in every aspect of execution
  • Authenticity: Creating work that reflects genuine human connection
  • Purpose: Design that serves meaningful communication objectives
