Suzie established her company, Surroundings, in 2007 and set about designing houses, workplaces and places of play for her clients. Every Surroundings project focuses on the individual first and becomes a unique reflection of the people it is designed for, focusing on the experiences they want to live as well as the space they want to live in. Alongside designing buildings Suzie is exploring new processes to educate and enable people within their environments to own, design, edit and grow in their own space. Designed to engage people in a participatory way, each game, tool, object and workshop helps people discover their own unique preferences in their space.
