Page Sarah Susanka, FAIA, has written nine books that collectively weave together home and life design, revealing that a Not So Big attitude serves not only architectural aims, but life goals as well. Her books have sold well over one million copies and in The Not So Big Life, she suggests we can be “at home” in our lives only when we engage everything we do with integrity, each action reflecting who we truly are. Susanka has been interviewed by hundreds of television and radio shows across North America including “Oprah,” “Charlie Rose,” and “Good Morning America. She is regularly tapped by major news organizations including The New York Times, USA Today and national magazines for her insights into home design, lifestyle and sustainability. Fast Company named Susanka to their debut list of “Fast 50” innovators whose achievements have helped to change society. Susanka is a member of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.
