About

Susan is a Texas-based set dresser, set decorator, and scenic artist with a strong eye for rustic, Western, historical, biblical, Early American, and lived-in environments. Her work is rooted in building worlds that feel authentic, textured, and emotionally connected to story.

She has hands-on experience creating story-driven interiors and exteriors for live immersive productions, studio-based events, independent films, and commercial projects, using period detail, weathered textures, practical props, furniture placement, scenic finishes, aging, distressing, and visual continuity to bring each environment to life.

Experienced in dressing spaces that feel true to the land, the characters, and the world of the story, Susan brings a grounded, practical approach to every production. She has a soft spot for the details most people walk past — the chipped paint, the faded fabric, the worn handle, the object in the corner that quietly tells the audience who lived there. In addition, her lifelong experience around horses, cattle, and rural environments gives her an authentic eye for Western, ranch, and lived-in set dressing details.

Her background in interior design, directing, film editing, and immersive production gives her a strong eye for composition, atmosphere, character, and narrative detail, while her set experience has trained her to work fast, stay flexible, collaborate well, and make thoughtful creative choices that honor both the story and the budget.
