As a nationally published interior designer, I, Susan E. Brown, take pride in creating unique and personal spaces that reflect the story of each individual who walks through the door. With my studio based in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, I have had the privilege of working with clients nationwide to create spaces that are both sophisticated and personal.
My Philosophy
Good interior design is not about slapping you across the face or walking up to you and saying hi. Instead, it is about slowly and subtly awakening your senses like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter's day. It is the perfect blend of design elements, thoughtfully combined to create a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels good.
My Approach
As a designer, I believe that everyone has a unique story to tell within the walls of their own home. Whether it's a cherished memento from a grandparent or a treasured family heirloom, every element of a space holds significance. My goal is to create an environment that isn't just beautiful but also meaningful.
The Design Process
My design work is rooted in creating unique and personal spaces. These spaces are based on the specific needs and desires of the client. I take the time to understand each client's vision, whether it's a completely redesigned master bath, a cozy fireplace work area, or a custom upholstered fabric for their beloved family pet. My goal is to create an environment, not just a decorated space, that truly speaks to you.
The Steps Involved
The design process typically involves several steps, including:
- Initial contact: We'll schedule a phone call to discuss your project, your needs, and your desires.
- Meet & Greet: We'll schedule a meeting to further discuss the project, the process, and the budget.
- Design Process Begins: We'll create designs, search for furnishings and finishes, and start to sketch out the plans.
What Sets Me Apart
With a background in textile science and a master's degree in applied design, I have a deep understanding of the science of design and the importance of quality in materials. My years of experience in quality assurance for industrial fabrics and chemicals have given me a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
