About Me

Susang6: I’m Susan, a writer, photographer, designer, and creative studio owner based in Southwest Missouri. I’ve been publishing online since 2008, beginning with assignments for Associated Content, eHow, and Demand Studios, along with research support for a content writer producing articles for Livestrong and Garden Guides. Those early years shaped my approach to clear, practical, reader‑focused writing across a wide range of lifestyle topics. Today I manage seven active blogs covering seasonal and holiday living, wildlife and outdoor life, home and garden, creative processes, Southwest Missouri stories, feral cat rescue, and long‑term care for FIV‑positive cats. My work is grounded in lived experience — from documenting the rhythms of my region to sharing hands‑on knowledge shaped by years of writing, photography, and community involvement. I also run Susang6 Creative Studio on Zazzle, where I design nature‑inspired collections, seasonal artwork, and everyday products for home and lifestyle. Whether I’m writing, designing, or photographing the world around me, my focus is clarity, intention, and sharing what I’ve learned through nearly two decades of digital publishing.
