Creative Development

Suzanne is a masters-qualified scriptwriter and producer.

She’s worked on documentaries for the ABC and SBS, written the script for a video game for people with vision impairment, created a series of comic cabarets inspired by 1940s radio drama, and co-founded a touring opera company.

Suzanne is currently developing audio storytelling project that gives listeners a peek into incredible real-life stories, and an animated children’s TV series about belonging and found family.

One of her big dreams is to write a story that makes it to the stage as a musical.
