“The Design Leadership Network was founded as a forum to create community, promote advocacy and educate our peers in a way that strengthens the design industry as a whole, and with this award, we take time to recognize those members who are leading the charge in building our community,” said Peter Sallick, founder of the Design Leadership Network, co-founder of Dering Hall, and CEO and creative director of Waterworks.
Tucker accepted the award, as well as a watch from Tiffany & Co., from Sallick and the 2014 award honoree, architect Marc Appleton.
Tucker is known for her award-winning design work via her firm Tucker & Marks. In 2010, she expanded with the brand Suzanne Tucker Home, which includes textile, tabletop and home furnishings lines. She has published two books, Rooms to Remember: The Classic Interiors of Suzanne Tucker and Suzanne Tucker Interiors: The Romance of Design. Tucker serves as founding director of the Northern California chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art; she is chair of the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show and sits on its advisory board; and she also serves on the West Coast Council of The Garden Conservancy.
