About Susie Allen

Hi, there. I’m Susie, designer, illustrator, and curious lifelong learner. I love trying new things and incorporating handmade elements into my work. I’m inspired by everything around me, from natural textures to pop culture to fabric patterns, and I’m super-excited to be able to share my work as a Minted designer!

Spotted another one of your designs a judge is deliberating on! Heart of Gold, although for some reason it's shown as Sun Kiss. Congrats! http://tinyurl.com/cjgjkqx

Hi there Susie – thanks for the nice note! I felt like it was high time for a profile pic change...I was inspired by everyone's pretty faces, so I scrounged up an old one. More importantly, congratulations on your win for "Peace is Cool"! It has always been one of my favorites. :)
