About...
Suzanne Brown is an award-winning visual designer. She
spent over a decade honing her creative skills at publishing
houses, advertising agencies, and boutique graphic design
firms. At the dawn of the Internet age she seized the
opportunity offered by the web, and began to create online
marketing campaigns and interactive environments for
consumer products companies, internet service providers, and
leading technology consultancies.
In 2001, feeling increasingly shackled by the numerous
constraints of the corporate world, Suzanne founded Suzanne
Brown Design, specializing in interactive and print design,
branding, and visual identity. At last in charge of her own
destiny, Suzanne recognized the potential to utilize Suzanne
Brown Design as a creative platform upon which she could
build a career centered on the things she most loves –
lifestyle, cooking, entertaining, travel, design, fashion,
and culture. It was here that the idea for Summer: A User’s
Guide was born.
Summer: A User’s Guide is due out in early 2007. This
comprehensive guide to summer living is jam-packed with 100s
of how-to’s, activities for everyone in the family,
indispensable tips, rules for countless games, recipes, and
nuggets of wisdom from how to be the perfect weekend guest,
to how to track the tides, to how to get out berry stains
out of your favorite white pants. Summer may be fleeting,
but, as Summer: A User’s Guide gently reminds us, the ideals
of summer are at all times within our grasp.
