Hello, I’m Susanna
A stylist, photographer, content creator & online educator who loves few things more than a slow Sunday with my family, coffee, painting and loud laughter. I believe saying yes to things that scare me makes me a happier person and less scared of making mistakes. I live in Bath, UK with my husband (aka Mr Nordic), our two children, our cocker spaniel puppy Laila and Ebba, our beautiful and very grumpy grey cat.
My blog name by shnordic came from my instagram handle shnordic, and it’s actually just my initials plus Nordic, as I’m originally from Scandinavia. Not especially original or thoughtful, I only chose it as I wanted to have a simple handle with no numbers in the name. It was my personal account for a couple of years, before I started sharing more intentionally about 6 years ago.
I started by shnordic as I had given up my career in a pharmaceutical research for family reasons and wanted to have something to do. We had just finished renovating our previous house and I had done a interior design course to help me designing our home, and a photography course to help me document it. I embarked on my social media journey and have successfully grown my following to over 900k+ followers across Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest.
While I certainly didn’t set out to become a coach when I started my content creation journey, I have found so much joy in sharing my knowledge and coaching aspiring online entrepreneurs how to build their profitable online businesses and leverage instagram and pinterest in their marketing. First I was just helping a few friends out to set up their socials, then I expanded to the people who organically reached out for help via my DM’s, and I haven’t looked back. My mission is to offer inspiration and actionable advice so you can build your own profitable and meaningful business. I’m currently creating a new program, join the waitlist below and I keep you posted when it is live!
I absolutely love my job and the freedom it gives me and being able to help others to achieve their dreams. I also love that it never stays the same, things are always moving and there is something new to learn!
