After nearly a decade as a web and graphic designer, Susan Morrissey founded Beacon Design Studio to blend her passions for design, glass, and craft. Always a native New Yorker, she grew up on Long Island, went to school in Troy, and lived in Manhattan for a time, before discovering and falling deeply in love with Beacon. On the weekend, you’ll find her knee deep in her garden, playing video games, and hanging out at a brewery with her partner and dog.
