About Me

Meet the Owner & Designer behind Creative Blueprint Design: Susi

Hi. Sprechen Sie deutsch?

I am a German native, born and raised in Germany, but I’ve been on the east coast for more than 20 years now, in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. area.

I studied Graphic Design at the University of Maryland and worked as a Graphic Designer for a financial and book publishing company for over a decade. There, I took on many responsibilities and worked my way up to lead a team of designers, as the Art Director, learning all about marketing strategies, publishing and the design business. While working on my professional career, I also nurtured a freelancing design business, creating long-lasting relationships with clients.

In 2019, I started my own full-time design company: Creative Blueprint Design.

Now, I can dedicate my time to helping a range of clients from individuals to small-businesses and even corporate companies that operate world-wide.

I can’t wait to bring your visions to life.

Fun Facts…

  • I love being by the beach. Wish I lived on a tropical island.

  • Puzzle and Scrabble fanatic.

  • Obsessed with explaining the difference between Em- and En-dashes.

  • Love LOVE love looking at maps and giving directions.

  • I have a long history and passion for architectural floor plans.

  • Did anyone say beach volleyball? I am there. Doubles please.

  • Speak 2 languages fluently.

  • I grew up behind the wall, when Germany was still divided. David Hasselhoff is our savior. JK!!! But I did grow up in East Germany.

A healthy work-life balance is super important to me, so if you don’t find me sitting behind my computer, I am enjoying or exploring nature, playing beach volleyball or spending time with loved ones. Nature and family love is a constant source of inspiration for my work and daily life.

Wondering why I picked the name Creative Blueprint Design?

I have been drawing floor plans since I was a little child and the word blueprint has a lot of meanings to me. It’s not just a floor plan, it’s an identity, it’s a layout, it’s a guide, it’s efficiency, it’s a tool, it’s a map to reveal every aspect of a creation. That plus adding a unique, strategic and creative vision is what graphic design and my services are all about.

My goal is to bring your vision to life, whether that’s an identity with a new logo, branding your company, creating marketing assets to support your existing branding and company, laying out books or helping you self-publish, it’s all about illuminating your unique vision, your identity, your blueprint. And that’s how Creative Blueprint Design was born.

I can’t wait to hear all about your project.
