Contestant's Case to Win

Designer
As a young girl, Sue Brown knew that she would one day be a designer and have her own small business. Sue is a surface/textile and graphic designer born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. Her first sketches were created in her childhood home inspired by the Caribbean’s colorful culture. Driven by her passion for art and design, she studied Communication Design at New York City College of Technology. Upon graduating from CityTech, Sue had the opportunity to move to South Carolina to work for a small design firm. Shortly after, Sue decided to start a family and now she is raising her three little girls while running a small home business in Columbia, South Carolina.

Subee Studio is a small design studio specializing in pattern and graphic designs, with a focus on artistic and experimental projects. Sue’s mission is to produce unique, artistic print work that combines a breadth of visual, handmade influences, textures and colors with a deep respect for pattern and graphic design.

Sue recently created her own product line under “Subee Collective”. All of her designs and products are created by hand in her studio. Sue’s mission behind her new product line is to help promote awareness of global poverty. A portion of profits from every handmade item goes to CARE organization.

When Sue is not designing, she believes in the importance of family, inspiring others and giving back. And for some extra fun, Sue loves taking photos.
