SUMA GREENWALD, NCIDQ
Senior Interior Designer

Suma was the first employee at LS&A, playing a key role in supporting Leslie to build
a successful firm by her willingness to wear many hats.  She also has the honor of being the office foodie.   Over the last few years she has taken some time to explore other interests, but has maintained a close connection with the firm, jumping in to help out when needed.   Her unconventional upbringing in an intentional community in NY gives her the ability to think outside the box. She is an intuitive, creative problem solver who loves color and simple design.

Favorite Color: Orange

Favorite Poem:
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes,
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.
