Susan Black
FDI Creative Team
Susie joined the Floral Design Institute Tulip Team in 2019 after completing the Basic Floral Design course in person. She often shares that attending Flower School was the best decision she ever made. With more than 17 years of experience as an academic advisor in higher education and over six years living and working abroad, Susie brings a wealth of knowledge and a global perspective to supporting FDI students, graduates, and Tulips worldwide.
She manages engagement across FDI’s social media platforms, including YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram. Every Wednesday at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, you’ll find her live on the YouTube side of Flower School Live—welcoming viewers and responding to questions in real time.
A passionate flower lover, Susie is always on the lookout for local flower farms and roadside stands near her home on the Washington–British Columbia border. When not working with flowers or connecting with students, she enjoys traveling, reading, practicing yoga, swimming, and playing ping-pong.
