Our very own CEO Keith Granet is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his signature book, The Business of Design, with a new edition is to be released this June. To celebrate this milestone, the Studio Designer team is pleased to present The Business of Design Interview Series. Keith leads a series of fascinating discussions with designers who represent the very best of this business. We kicked off this series with Renaissance woman Suzanne Kasler, watch the video here.
The extraordinary interior designer Suzanne Kasler is the principal of Suzanne Kasler Interiors with an award-winning portfolio of timeless, classic designs throughout the years as well as a dazzling array of signature lines. Based in Atlanta, Suzanne has established her signature look by mixing high and low, traditional and contemporary, as well as new and old. She is known for her love of French-inspired décor and continues to use her boundless creativity and discerning eye for luminous and timeless interiors considered to be among the best in her profession.
Suzanne established her design career at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning. She has always been an avid collector and observer and uses her travels to source unique items and decorative elements for her interiors.
Suzanne proclaims that her signature interiors and pieces are all geared to “inspire living a more beautiful and authentic life.” She has been named to Architectural Digest’s coveted AD100 and Elle Décor’s notable A-List multiple times and she also has three books published with Rizzoli: Inspired Interiors, Timeless Style, and Sophisticated Simplicity.
In advance of this webinar interview, we asked Suzanne to share just a few details about herself.
How would you describe your own design aesthetic?
Subtle, luminous, sophisticated, beautiful and timeless.

Travel, specifically Paris! I always find something new and chic that’s two steps ahead of the United States when I am there. I also find fashion and my Instagram feed so inspiring.
