“Getting to know Suzanne as a poet, I‘ve found her very life is a story she is writing and sharing. She writes from her heart, and when you read her work, it seems as if she’s writing directly to your own heart. Her work is poignant, asks for pause in the day to day, and reminds me to take a deep breath and truly be. Suzanne is an adventurous and compassionate being, and in her writing, it shows.”

“Affectionately called ‘Smith’ (as in wordsmith) by our executive team, Suzanne approached projects with excitement and eagerness to solve problems, and provided messaging that was direct, professional, and eloquent. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, always prompt, respectful, and fun. She has the open mind of an artist and the sensibility of a business owner. She owns her work and can stand behind her every word.”

“Suzanne is on to something extraordinary! The terms ‘brand’ and ‘identity’ are often linked together, but no one understands how to get to the heart of identity like Suzanne. Her deep and genuine curiosity about who you really are as an individual or organization allows her to go beyond a ‘look’ and truly express the essence of your presence. She’ll quickly get to the heart of your identity, and then amplify it… making you undeniably shine.”
