Designer, Susan Sissman offers full service residential and commercial interior design services through her company, Susan Sissman Design, LLC.

Susan earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from the Harrington College of Design in Chicago. She previously earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loyola University of Chicago where she studied studio Fine Arts and Art History. Her former career work experience as a graphic designer provided a valuable foundation for her current work as an interior designer. This diverse background, as well as her mature appreciation and sensitivity for all the many styles of design, art and architecture contribute to Susan’s unique and broad based talents as an exceptional interior designer. In fact, Susan’s eye for design caught the attention of the Chicago Mayor’s office that chose SSD to furnish that office with a first place award winning rug design. SSD has also been selected to be a designer for the prestigious Lake Forest Showhouse.

Susan Sissman Design (SSD) enjoys creating interiors that range from transitional through contemporary styling, with an emphasis on strong graphic visual contrasts and global influences. They excel in space planning and color palette selection that coordinates through their fine taste and choice of fabrics, furniture and finishes. It’s all about the mix. Scale and proportion are paramount, as well as attention to details.

SSD keeps abreast of what is current by keeping up with new product launches and emerging trends within the interior design marketplace and through involvement at local art museums, galleries and organizations that helps inspire their design practice. Susan has an extensive background in the design industry and a wide range of professional skills that includes transitioning from two-dimensional graphic design into the three-dimensional world of interior design.

Clients receive personalized attention through consultations that provide direction and support through all phases of the interior design process, including project management. SSD helps clients make sure their living or work space fits their needs, likes and function through careful review of floor plans for furniture space planning as well as guidance in selecting color palettes and finishes. Kitchen & Bathroom renovation and design is available including custom cabinetry, furniture and upholstery.

Susan is an active Allied ASID-American Society of Interior Designers member and served on the Board of Directors as Membership Director. Susan has also been included to the distinguished team of interior designers at the Merchandise Mart as a "Designer On Call". She is committed to green practices in interior design and is certified as LEED AP ID+C. Her membership with NKBA-National Kitchen & Bath Association keeps her educated and up to date within this market sector.
