SKINNY x West Elm Collection
A five piece ceramic collection designed in collaboration with West Elm, sold exclusively in stores nationwide and online. Fall 2019
“Susan’s work has a lightness and airiness that one does not usually associate with ceramics.

Industry City
As part of the collaboration and design process, I flew to West Elm's headquarters in New York to meet the team and discuss the project. I refined my ideas through handmade prototypes onsite in their maker studio in Industry City. The prototypes were then sent with technical drawings to their vendors in Asia for manufacturing development. The collection was produced in Vietnam and China, and distributed to all the West Elm stores across the country.
Bay Area Pop Up Tour
To celebrate the launch, I popped up at all Bay Area West Elm locations to chat about the designs and plant styling, while also showcasing one of a kind handmade pieces.
