about me
Hi, I’m Suzy
I created Firelit to give actors, writers and creatives powerful support to thrive, to be heard, and to courageously create their best work and be successful on their own terms.
What got me here?
During more than 15 years as a top talent agent in London, I worked with and represented some exceptional talent. There were many great and inspiring moments. It was so satisfying telling a client they got their dream job. An artist’s hard work and nervous anticipation prior to landing a job are palpable. I simply loved the feeling of a plan coming together. Suddenly, there was more on the horizon, and it was hopeful. They had moved to a world of possibility.
On the flip side of this, was dealing with the disappointments. There were many sad and frustrating moments. When I represented someone, I would have such faith in their ability and their potential. Sometimes, it didn’t pan out how we wanted it to.
The unwavering commitment to being an actor, gets shaken so many times. I would witness artists go from all in for themselves and their careers to completely lacking in confidence or motivation. I would witness the light go out.
There is little you can control when you are an artist which can lead to a feeling of being disempowered. That light needs power to shine. So, I help people to find what they need to take some power back and recharge,
“When I think about what the last 20 months might have been like if I had never met and worked with Suzy, it is dark and sad, and devoid of color, life and energy. ”

What do I love?

“You can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

What do I know?
You are not on your own.
Firelit exists because I now understand what it takes to be successful and fulfilled.
I can support you to get there, and find happiness in the process.
It starts with a conversation.
Some other snippets about me…
I am proudly British born and bred. I currently live in Brooklyn with my husband, a Creative Director in the Fashion Industry, and our two daughters who are 11 & 9.
I love to read, and will tap almost anyone up for a book recommendation! I also love to write, from poetry to memoir, and also my simple musings on life.
Other passions in my life are spending time with my girls, playing dress-up (fashion always plays a starring role), ski-ing, cooking up a storm (an unusual hobby in NYC as it turns out!), watching theatre and movies and drinking margaritas at the Soho Houses around the world!
My Approach
Clarify
First, we pause! Then we process. Get clear on what you truly want. You will start to understand who you are, what you value, and how that deeper knowledge of the uniqueness of you is integral to how you show up and create in the world.
Result: Getting warmer.
Connect
Plug in. Power up. What’s possible when you connect with your true goals? Clue: These are probably not the same as the ones you thought you wanted! Understand what feeds your energy and what drains it, what moves you forward and what doesn’t. I act as your guide and nothing will get past me.
Result: It’s getting hot in here.
Create
Shift it and shape it. The foundation is smoldering. You are so aligned with your WHAT and your WHY that the WHEN is totally under your control. Lean in to the beauty of having a choice and expand beyond what you thought was possible. Cast and create those visions. IT’S TIME TO BRING THEM TO LIFE.
Result: Burning hot with a volcano of ideas.
