Susie is also the founder of Modern Loom, a high-end, small batch, home textiles brand that supports American manufacturing.

​

Inspired by the Weaving Workshop at the Bauhaus, Modern Loom strives to uphold the high ideal of incorporating art, craft and design and the importance of form and function.

​

Susie began Modern Loom development at the onset of Covid which delayed the process and revealed the complexities of global supply chains. Modern Loom weaves purpose into every thread, highlighting the impact of mindful manufacturing.
