Industry lighting design partners – meet distributor Susie
Susie Hammer, from CS Illumination, is on the outside sales team and her role is to educate clients and coach them on the best material for their product. Based in San Diego, California, Susie’s company has been a leader in design and distribution of lighting products for more than a decade.
Having fun along the way, they’ve built a great team and collaborate together, from the warehouse to accounting. Susie credits their success to their balanced environment, with activities such as yoga in the office every week.
Susie is passionate about helping her clients realize perfection on their individual projects.
She says, “It’s really key for us to be involved from the beginning stages of a project of a design. A lot of time and money has gone into designing these projects, and if it is not lit properly, you really lose the design element.”
Susie bridges the gap between what her clients need and which lighting suppliers can help them achieve that. When dealing with custom lighting suppliers, she typically looks for what materials they are best working with.
Ideoli is fortunate to be partnered with and supporting her on key lighting projects.
Susie says, “I’ve really enjoyed seeing their passion for the business. There hasn’t been a project we’ve brought to them [that they 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.”
Onwards and upwards we go, Susie!
