ARTIST AND
SUSTAINOPRENeuR

Suzanne Lundberg, artisan and designer of The Goat’s Coat, grew up in Maple Valley, Washington, where she began making jewelry at six years old. She attended the University of Oregon and University of Hawaii at Hilo, receiving a BA in Philosophy. Her adventurous, curious, and often impulsive nature has taken her across the world, where she spent time teaching English in South Korea and Peru, farming and learning about permaculture in Central America, studying Spanish in Spain, scuba diving throughout Southeast Asia, trekking in Chilean Patagonia, and other shorter travels. She eventually landed back in her homeland a decade later, in the Pacific Northwest. She and her husband have become stewards of 88 acres at the base of Sumas Mountain where they are currently building community with the goal of creating an educational retreat center with a focus of health and wellness, land conservation, permaculture, and sustainable homesteading practices.

Suzanne considers herself an artist in sustainable entrepreneurship. She views her designs as limitless, without boundaries, and following no rules while in constant process of evolving her designs. She believes that the raw materials found in her pieces combined with the thrifted, found, and reclaimed materials from the waste stream will inspire change in how we consume. In addition to her passion for sustainable art and lifestyle, Suzanne loves trail running, traveling, gardening, backpacking, and all things outdoors.
