About Susan

Hi, I’m Susan Black — the designer and owner of SuziBee Designs.
I help families honor life’s milestones with thoughtfully crafted keepsakes. I design Yearbook Recognition Pages for all school levels—from Pre-K to senior year—and I also create birthday and anniversary keepsakes, Celebration of Life/Memorial tributes, and custom-designed collages—creative image designs that blend my photo artistry with graceful, personal graphics.

SuziBee is a boutique, owner-led studio: every note, proof, and pixel is handled by me. My husband, Don—a retired software engineer—keeps our portal fast, secure, and private.

I’ve partnered with Choate Rosemary Hall since 2016, a relationship I value deeply. I also design for select private clients and schools who want the same calm process and beautiful, print-ready results.

Signature touches

• Careful image curation and gentle, step-by-step guidance
• Words refined for clarity, warmth, and fit
• Clean, timeless layouts that feel like your student or loved one
• Print-perfect production that meets yearbook specs
• A private, secure portal (thanks to Don)

How it feels to work together

Simple, kind, and careful. I curate images, shape your words, and polish every detail so your student—or your loved one—feels truly seen.
