As the former Publications Manager and Book Designer at literacy-powerhouse/non-profit 826 Seattle (now The Bureau of Fearless Ideas), Sue designed hundreds of books, posters, puppets, displays, and identification badges for Space Travelers and Field Agents alike.
Now an independent designer, Sue has a clean, iconographic style that reflects a lifetime of obsession with architecture, medieval art, and 8-bit video games.
With the training and endurance of a jazz sideman and the heart of a prog rocker, Sue plays bass with groups of all shapes, sizes and sounds around the Seattle/Puget Sound Region.
Obsessive listening to Brian Eno in younger years has left Sue with a internal soundtrack comprised of ambient soundscapes, which she has increasingly lent to those looking for background music for artistic and commercial endeavors.
Her music is featured in a number of Microsoft product tutorials and various other nooks and crannies.
Classically trained in both bass and low-brass, Sue offers lessons to students of all ages in both classical and jazz styles.
Additionally she has taught workshops on jazz and improvisation, as well as rhythm section playing and dynamics with both adult and student groups in the Seattle area.
