introduction
creative visionary | building brands
DRIVEN BY DISCOVERY
I am a graphic designer with over 25 years of experience creating bold designs that connect with diverse audiences and push creative boundaries. As the Sr. Graphic Designer at Legrand | AV, I specialize in developing innovative concepts that engage, ignite, and elevate brands. My expertise spans creative direction, corporate branding, graphic design, mood boards, identity development, and web/HTML design all designed with a clean, modern aesthetic that defines my style.
My approach to design is centered around curiosity and innovation, striving to transform ideas into visually compelling stories. From developing or re-branding identities to executing digital interfaces, I am passionate about exceeding all expectations.
When I’m not designing, I find inspiration through travel, which I document on my blog, susannj.com. Whether dining at a new restaurant, experimenting in the kitchen, or relaxing on a beach with my favorite music, these experiences fuel my creativity and broaden my perspective. My portfolio showcases the breadth of my creativity and dedication to excellence. I invite you to explore my work and see how I bring bold ideas to life.
about me
Born and raised in New Jersey, I graduated in Graphic Design from Montclair State University in NJ. In my early years, I always had a desire to draw for my family to enjoy (even comic strips).
After graduation I was lucky enough to find work at a full-service design agency where I learned how creative and effective design was conceived and executed from start to finish.
Shortly after my agency experience, I continued my career with a manufacturing company in Northern NJ with an in-house graphics dept. I started as a junior graphic designer and was promoted to the senior graphic designer.
I now work as a Sr. Graphic Designer for an industry leading AV company - Legrand | AV brands.
why I love what I do
Exploring career options took me on different paths, but I always felt a passion for creating. Whether sketching a charcoal drawing of the clouds hovering in the skies above, writing a detailed blog documenting my travels, or simply cooking a new recipe - I find purpose in designing and creating something new.
When I am not designing for business associates and friends, I find joy in running, listening to my favorite music, or escaping to an island with my husband. Life is a beautiful journey.
