RECOMMENDATIONS

“Working with Suzanne has been such a gift to me and to Rock the Walls, the nonprofit I’m building to change how families find support, safety, and real resources. She has an incredible ability to step into a complex story and immediately bring clarity, flow, and direction. When she shared her first round of updates to our website — refining the structure, elevating the experience, and bringing everything into sharper focus — I told her: ‘This is fantastic. Everything finally feels clear and easy to navigate. The structure makes sense… WOW! If you could see the smile on my face. I’ve been needing a magic wand for a long time — and this truly feels like that moment when things finally click.”’ Suzanne brings creativity, instinct, and heart to every detail. She helps you see your own vision with more confidence and clarity, and the work she does makes an immediate and meaningful impact. I’m deeply grateful to collaborate with her.” Lisa Pinney-Keusch, Rock the Walls Foundation, Inc.
