I have had the privilege of working with Suzanne on different projects over the last 10 years. I have consistently been impressed by her talent, dedication, and professionalism. Suzanne has always demonstrated an exceptional ability to bring projects to fruition, working tirelessly to ensure that each one is completed to the highest standards of quality. She is an excellent communicator and collaborator, and her ability to build strong working relationships with colleagues and clients alike is second to none. She possess a rare combination of creative vision and practical problem-solving skills, which enables her to produce work that is both innovative and commercially successful and on top of everything she is also a pleasure to work with!

Suzanne possesses the combination of project and people management skills required to successfully lead a globally dispersed, multidisciplinary creative team to deliver beautiful work on brief and on time. We've collaborated on several cross-functional projects at Xero and I always appreciate her ability to communicate and delegate effectively to keep projects moving in the right direction. Suzanne's attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work would make her an invaluable asset to any team and I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in any future endeavors.
