Leadership
& Vision
Susan Kirkpatrick, an NCIDQ-certified and licensed interior designer, is the founder and president of Kirkpatrick & Associates. After graduating from Brigham Young University with a degree in Interior Design, Susan passed the rigorous NCIDQ exam on her first attempt. She has been a strong advocate for the profession, helping lobby for one of the first interior design licensing bills in the U.S., serving as president of the New Mexico ASID chapter, and [being asked to join the Milliken Design Council]. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family in Colorado and riding and showing Quarter Horses.
“Kirkpatrick & Associates managed this process [during Covid-19] and completed a very appealing interior design and FFE package on schedule and within budget. Kirkpatrick & Associates continued to play a key role during procurement, construction, and installation on our project and spent numerous hour coordinating, inspecting, and approving Interior Finish installation, Custom Furniture Manufacturing, and Delivery & Installation of the FFE Package.”
