Suzi McLaughlin's passion for working with paper began at Falmouth Art College. The bold originality of her final degree show caught the attention of the Gardeners' World team, who commissioned her to create a life-size paper garden for BBC Gardeners' World Live Show, for which she was awarded an RHS gold medal. She has since created installations and bespoke items for Jo Malone's flagship London store, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, John Lewis and the magazines Elle and You and Your Wedding.
