MEET SUSANNE {aka Sooze}

Designer / el Presidente / Resident Prankster

Susanne is New Mexico born with eleven years design experience. She graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in graphic design. Shortly after college, Sooze ditched the Oregon rain in search of sunnier days. After one too many humdrum jobs, she decided to take a chance and launch her own design studio, Pica Press. In 2007 Sooze took the plunge and hit the ground running. She never looked back.

Sooze loves the art of typography, her polaroid camera, flea markets, the desert heat, pen pals, wine tasting, pictionary victories, green chili, and all things summer. She is continually on the quest for the next best garage sale.

When not designing, working on house projects, or skyping with Lindsey, you can usually find Sooze at the beach lounging with her hubby Javier in the Santa Barbara sun.
