What's Cookin' at Design Originals

Hello Friends, Exciting news is in the air!

I want you to be the first to hear it from me. There will be an official press release this week, but an agreement has been finalized with Fox Chapel Publishing for the acquisition of Design Originals. Fox Chapel (really they do fabulous books) has been in business for 20 years, and is one of the top publishers. I am really excited to be working with such an innovative publishing company.

We will continue to publish creative new titles under "Design Originals". By taking this step, I will have time to focus on my creative side and help talented designers turn their original creations into top-selling books. My blog will continue and I will continue to produce YouTube videos each week. I look forward to seeing you at industry trade shows-especially at CHA in July.

Saw this on FB and just had to yell "Congratulations, Suzanne!" You really do deserve this success. I live in west Texas now but when in FW I saw how fast you grew, and I know you worked so hard (for a lot of years) to achieve all this. See you in July!
