Susan’s formal training was in nutrition science. Yet, from an early age, she was fascinated with art and beauty. Her career as a makeup artist began after she was hired as the associate nutrition editor for Good Housekeeping magazine, where she was introduced to the beauty department. Susan received her first training from one of the makeup artists in the department, and became drawn into that world. She began assisting other artists and started to build her own career.

Susan’s artistic vision is inspired by simplicity and innocence. Her natural and ethereal style of makeup and hair styling is uniquely suited for working with babies, kids, and teens.
