Meet Our Studio Team

Suzanne Maher

CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

With 38 years of breathing creativity, light and love into Affirmations, Suzanne has many positively inspiring projects and products under her belt. As Creative Director, she is involved in the conception and design of all products.

With an eye for detail, sales and symmetry, Suzi ensures every product and visual aspect of the company is pitch-perfect before it makes its way out to enrich and add light to the world.

She sees the world in images, colours and fonts. Indeed, her whole life has been finding words to fit into her myriad of creative ideas. Some people are lucky to find their calling early; in her words, “I have always wanted to be an artist ever since I can remember. I just knew that was my calling from the earliest time. So I told everyone who would listen I was going to be an artist.”

Suzi is passionate about design in all its forms, architecture and interior design. She finds inspiration and wonder in creating and transforming things. For three decades, Affirmations’ design has consistently pushed boundaries.

Suzi loves French films and culture, the colour Indigo and anything Japanese.

Brianna Clarke

SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER

In her 10 years with Affirmations, Brianna has worked on a little bit of everything. A genuine all-rounder, whatever she touches, it turns to gold. She also collaborates with artists and authors, and even flexes her own artistic and poetic sides to bring the Affirmations vision to life. There’s a lot of Brianna in all our products.

When not designing products, Bri will be making movies and animations for our social media, creating epic marketing collateral, and in her spare time, you’ll find her doing the technical concept drawings for a new point of sale stand or designing our world-acclaimed catalogues.

Bri loves playing cozy video games, collecting stationery and sleeping in on the weekends.

Janna Elliott

PRODUCTION COORDINATOR

Janna is our rock-star Editor, drawing on her eternal love of language and grammar. She also works with the Creative Director to develop product content, and still finds time to assist the Production Manager across our print runs and production scheduling.

We have been lucky enough to have her for over 10 years… She doesn’t know it yet, but we are never letting her go!

While we might call her the resident grammar nerd, she actually feels most at home busting moves in the dance studio or zen-ing out on her yoga mat!
