Suzanne Walsh









 



Suzanne Walsh is an interactive and graphic designer with thirteen years experience working with high profile companies such as Oracle, WebMD, Model N, Johnson and Johnson, Schering Plough, Blue Cross, Yahoo and Intuit on both business and consumer applications.

After receiving a degree in Painting and Drawing from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Suzanne began her career as an Art Director for Oracle’s New Media Division. Her designs for Oracle’s Interactive Television effort were featured on the cover of Newsweek and Business Week. At WebMD she lead the West Coast design department, building a team of interactive and visual designers that managed the design for all of WebMD’s interactive and marketing requirements. As Creative Director at Switchouse, an online entertainment swapping site for teenagers (CDs, DVDs and games) Suzanne lead a redesign effort (visual and structural) that increased click through rates 40%. And at Model N Suzanne created identity and interface design systems for various clients, educating co-workers and customers to the process of identifying the expectations of end users as a basis for better final design.

After ten years in the corporate world Suzanne found it the right time to start her own consultancy. She approaches each design problem believing that design should be usable and elegant. The background work to determine the correct structure of a website or identity system is as important as selecting the right images and style. Design should be appropriate and approachable to the end user. You can review more of Suzanne's work at Suzanne Walsh Design.
