Suzanne is a founding partner at Boldium. With a mission to create experiences that make a difference, Suzanne’s role at Boldium is to provide strategic leadership as well as hands on project management and information architecture.  She has played a critical role in numerous leading-edge interactive media for such clients as Cisco, California Closets, Clorox and Proctor and Gamble.

Suzanne began her career in the ivory towers earning her MA and PhD in Comparative Literature at Harvard and UC Berkeley.  After teaching theory, composition and literature at UC Berkeley and Stanford, Suzanne decided to take her passion into an arena that would empower everyday people to access information and opportunities.  Her academic background and relentless intellectual curiosity drive her to challenge assumptions, investigate the underpinnings of language and interactivity, and shape effective strategies.

Along these lines, Suzanne developed an innovative pedagogical strategy called "story-based learning" to help engage kids more easily in the learning process. Story-based learning leverages the magnetism of stories to teach academic and social skills. Based on this idea, she co-founded BookBoing, a company that produces interactive, story-based learning tools. BookBoing has thus far created two mobile applications, and plans to expand onto the internet and into the classroom.
