In 2009 she was an award winning finalist out of thousands worldwide for "Best Student Made Handbag" and 2011 for "Best Handbag with Swarovski Elements with InStyle." Her concept was the dream catcher. The crystals represented the dreams and the chain represented the web, which was the pathway towards the dreams. With this amazing concept, New York accessory designer Susan, received full sponsorship from Swarovski Crystals. Because of the well known competition worldwide, Susan was offered an apprentice with prestigious Couture house Viktor and Rolf in Europe immediately after graduating from Parsons School of Design.
