Susan Currie Design is a color-forward, ASID-honored residential studio. We shape historically-rooted
homes into fresh, personal, genuinely lived-in spaces — the kind that don't just photograph beautifully,
but become the setting where a lifetime of memories gets made.

The studio
From a grandmother's kitchen to the ADAC.
Susan Currie grew up in Mississippi, among gracious old family homes and, most of all, in her
grandmother's kitchen — the room where she first understood that a home is really a place to gather and
live. That conviction became a color-forward luxury practice, honored by the ASID and carried across two
markets. Color, she'll tell you, is the trademark; warmth is the point.
