- Words and Photography by Lia Crowe
Sue describes her style as classic, elegant and timeless, but not fussy! She鈥檚 passionate about fitness, lives by the motto 鈥済o with your gut鈥� and is not afraid of hard work.
Growing up in different small towns in Saskatchewan as the daughter of an RCMP officer and a teacher, and moving every year, Sue learned how to adapt to new living spaces.
鈥淓very time we moved meant I had to figure out how to make my worldly possessions work in our new home. I was known to be up late in the evening making things look 鈥榡ust right.鈥� A bit of a perfectionist streak, some might say.鈥�
Asked what aspect of her work she enjoys the most, Sue says, 鈥淚 love the people I get to work with every day. It has been a bit of a long road, but I feel incredibly lucky with my 迟别补尘.鈥�
And what鈥檚 the best life lesson she has learned recently?
鈥淸The moral of] the tortoise and the hare. Slow down. Be true to yourself even if everyone else around you is on hyper speed.鈥�
