Suzy Haber-Wakefield: A Journey of Art, Fashion, and Entrepreneurship

50, NOT DEAD

Suzy's journey began in Montgomery, Alabama, where her love for art and fashion blossomed. Against all odds, she pursued her dreams and set her sights on attending art school in New York.

Her dreams became a reality when she got accepted into the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). However, her thick southern accent presented a challenge in the cosmopolitan city. Despite initial misunderstandings, Suzy's determination prevailed, and she embraced the diverse creative tools RISD offered, shaping her career in unimaginable ways.

She left her southern roots behind, and embarked on her next adventure in the concrete jungle of New York City. As fate would have it, Suzy found her niche in the lingerie industry. Joining Victoria's Secret, she honed her skills and climbed the corporate ladder for an incredible 16 years.

Post Victoria Secret, at a subsequent company, life took an unexpected turn when Suzy faced a career setback, losing her position due to company restructuring. But as the saying goes, "Every ending is a new beginning." She turned this challenge into an opportunity to start her own business. Armed with her wealth of knowledge, connections, and a burning passion for the creative process, she embarked on the thrilling path of entrepreneurship.
