About Susanna

Susanna then moved to Shropshire in 2000 to work for
iDEA,
a successful interior design consultancy, where she spent 8 years. Susanna was employed as an
Interior Designer and was then later made an Associate of the company. Whilst working for iDEA she
built up a greater understanding of the importance of sustainable design and how design reflects
the way we work, which was implemented in many of their commercial projects. During her time at
iDEA,
Susanna worked for many prestigious clients, including Royal Sun Alliance, The Bank of New York,
BBC, Sky and Prudential.
It was here at
iDEA,

of materials and furniture. Susanna has gained a good knowledge of DDA regulations, Building Control
