How Suzanne Donaldson Merged Her Editorial Background With Her Love For Dogs
About The Episode
Suzanne didn’t know about the rescue need and situation of dogs when she originally got her two Morkies, the Sizzle Sisters (Edie and Clair).
It wasn’t long before she found out, then soon getting involved right away with that world of rescue.
She had been working as a Photo Editor at Glamour Magazine for over a decade and at a point she realized her mission was to use her experience and connections within media, fashion, and editorial to do something for dogs and the rescue world.
Suzanne left her high position job at Glamour Magazine and started a blog, Mrs. Sizzle. The main audience was to speak to the fashion community, but it was also for everyone, to raise awareness around rescue and adoption.
She wanted to use her talents and background, bringing her perspective of photography taste to the issue of dog rescue, changing what’s usually sad imagery to instead positive, fun, and beautiful photos instead.
She kept the blog running for a while and still keeps it going on Instagram. Currently, she also serves as Senior Director of Global Brand Imaging at Nike.
