Susie Bumstead is a Seattle-based interior designer. Raised in the Northwest, Susie's design philosophy revolves around the idea that good design comes from a multitude of sources. With a timeless and classic approach to design, Susie utilizes neutral foundations and modern sensibilities to make design approachable and luxurious. Incorporating vintage furnishings and contemporary elements, she is known for her realistic approach to creating sophisticated and timeless interiors.
With a background in product development and branding for an international retailer, Susie has worked with everyone from Ford Motors to Target. Notable home projects include developing a branded paint line for Lowe's, indoor and outdoor fabric lines for JoAnn's Craft and a 12-year collaboration with Lane Furniture. After more than a decade of creating items for the home, she followed her passion toward a career in interior design. Incorporating her experience in business with her love of design, Susie feels her background helps her wear the hat of 'client' as well as 'designer.'
A mother of two young boys, she approaches design with a 'life happens' philosophy - knowing that interiors must be engaging as well as realistic for everyday life. It's her belief that homes should be as functional as they are beautiful and as comfortable as they are polished. She creates spaces that evolve with a client -- easily adapting to their ever changing lives.
