After graduating from Lehman College with a fine arts degree, Susy studied botanical drawing at Parsons School of Design and textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She started her design career by working as a textile designer with Diane Von Furstenburg. Soon after, she started her own business - Susy Chen Design Studio.
She has worked with top notch artists and designed for major department stores, well known manufacturers and prestigious design houses. Her clients include Cowton & Tout, Scalamandre, Schumacher, P/Kaufmann, Macy's and Croscil Home Fashion. Her designs have been featured in interior design magazines, mail order catalogs such as Gumps, Ethan Allen and Horchow and also on Broadway in "The Sound of Music".
Out of her love for beautifully designed textiles, Susy Chen created a line of handbags made of exquisite fabrics and leather. Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail distinguish her elegant handbags. She also produced a collection of color coordinated home accessories in designer fabrics.
Susy Chen Designs is currently accepting commissioned textile design projects. For more information please contact us at info@susychen.com or address:
