DESIGN A LIFE YOU LOVE
"Be at home in a life built by design"SUSAN DROVER
In the story of SAM, founder and CEO Susan Drover believes that interior design plays a pivotal role in influencing how individuals work and live. From an early age, Susan recognized the profound impact of one's surroundings on living. Be it a dinner table set for 12, a set of freshly ironed linens, a family gathering around a wood-burning fire, or a vase full of her mother’s favourite wild daisies, the details mattered to her.
Fast forward to today and Susan has assembled a team who is equally passionate about the idea of designing not only physical spaces but also about crafting a lifestyle through thoughtful design choices. For us, the arrangement of elements in a space goes beyond aesthetics — it shapes experiences and contributes significantly to the overall well-being of individuals.
Since 2012, our SAMily has touched the lives of many clients who value and appreciate beauty and purpose, kindness and relationships, talent and collaboration, integrity, and hard work. Susan believes it takes all of these characteristics to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.
