Unlocking the moments that led to Sue Carr finding interior design at university and her determination to start her own practice in 1971, Sue talks to Stephen Crafti on the fortnightly podcast series Talking Design, as she celebrates five decades of design practice.
While discussing her exceptional career, Sue explains to Stephen that for her design is about finding the ‘big idea’ and committing to it from end to end. Despite the difficulty this approach can often entail, “the outcome is a project that doesn’t date” says Sue. Avoiding fads and trends has always been at the heart of Sue’s design philosophy.
“It’s choosing simplicity over complexity. It’s using the interplay of light and shadow on the wall”
– Sue Carr, Founding Principal
