Meet our lighting design partners – part I
To help invigorate more spaces, Ideoli partners with distribution companies who help match our products with clients that benefit from what we have to offer. One of those partners is Susie Hammer, based in sunny San Diego, California.
Susie’s company has been a leader in the design and distribution of lighting products for more than a decade, and Susie’s role on the outside sales team is to educate clients and help them find the best materials for their projects. She is passionate about working with clients to design their ideal spaces, starting from the beginning stages of a project’s design. She then bridges the gap between what her clients need and which lighting suppliers can help them achieve that, working with partners like Ideoli along the way.
“When dealing with custom lighting suppliers typically what we look for is what materials they are best at working with,” she says. “If our client is looking for a wood fixture or metal fixture, [for example], there’s different manufacturers that specialize in making those.”
Ideoli is fortunate to partner with Susie and support her on key lighting projects for her clients.
“I’ve really enjoyed seeing [Ideoli’s] passion for the business,” she says. “There hasn’t been a project we’ve brought to them that they really haven’t attacked and have gone the full length to make it happen. They don’t cut corners, they really do it the right way the first time.”
In addition to having a keen design eye, Susie and her company know how to balance work and fun, just like Ideoli.
“We really have a great team and collaborate together, from the warehouse to accounting. We have a lot of balance,” she says. “We have yoga every week in our office and also enjoy drinking some fine beers in San Diego.”
Cheers! We look forward to working on more projects with Susie to help clients get the lighting products they need to make their spaces shine.
