Susan is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Maine at Orono, earning a BA degree in Journalism with concentration in advertising and print design, and studio art. A lifelong artist, Susan combined her love of art and print design with writing, editing and photography, creating a career of helping businesses in all these integral areas.

Over the last 40 years, Susan has been owner of Bradstreet Englert Creative (formerly Sandpiper Artisans) for 9 years; owner of Graphic Manoeuvres, a Concord, NH graphic design firm for 12 years; a political designer—at one time designing many mailers and brochures for Ron Paul’s presidential campaign bid in 2007-08; Adjunct Lecturer in graphic design at Plymouth State University (NH); and instructor of Adobe software courses, branding, and portfolio building for a continuing education college in Manchester, NH. 

She was also an award-winning editor and designer of the NH Episcopal News (a diocesan newspaper), and former designer for the New Hampshire Bar News semimonthly newspaper.

Her work in the studio and commercially has earned her many awards through the years. She is a Rotary Club Paul Harris Fellow, and an active member in BNI leadership since 2012, currently serving as president of her chapter in the Upstate region of South Carolina. She has clients in several states, with much of the concentration in New England where she lived for most of her life. She is a 2015 transplant to Greenville, South Carolina, and loving the business and life opportunities found in this beautiful city.

Susan enjoys hanging out with her husband, Steve, a good murder mystery, watching hockey, exploring new restaurants, writing, crafting, comfy slippers, a hot cup of coffee, and her dog at her feet (better yet, on her lap).
