👋🏻 I'm Susan Densa, a multi-disciplinary designer and photographer living in Chicago. Currently I lead the Web Design and UX team at Sprout Social. When I’m not working my 9-5, you can usually find me with a camera in hand, tinkering away at a self-assigned design project, or snuggling up with my dog, Duncan.
My Story
I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in 2007 with a double major B.A. in Visual Communication and Advertising/Public Relations. Though I started out designing print newspaper ads, I quickly became part of an in-house marketing team, creating anything from direct-mail pieces to trade show booth experiences to branding systems. My research-centric brain and interest in emerging technologies shifted my focus to working in product and web design — though I remain passionate about helping clients big and small visualize their brand identity.

Outside of my day job, I dedicate time to photography and content creation. Travel and Lifestyle are the primary categories that what I shoot falls into – but much like my design skillsets, my decade+ photography experience has me dabbling in a little bit of everything. Some brands I’ve partnered with include Budweiser, Visit Indy, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and MCA Chicago.
