Sue Berk Designs

Sue Berk Designs manufactures ceramic crosses, baby blankets and wooden frames. It was founded in the Spring of 2002, by Sue Berk. She does not have any formal training in Art, but always had a love for it.

Sue grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and moved with her family to Houston during high school. She has traveled all over the world and lived in Israel for a year during her Junior year of college. After completing her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas, Sue worked in high tech marketing and product management.

Tired of the corporate world, Sue then renovated houses for 5 years, appearing on The Discovery Channel and in The Dallas Morning News for excellence in home renovation. While renovating houses, Sue did all her own tiling and decided she could make tiles for less than the expensive styles she was buying. She bought a kiln and set about designing and making her own tiles. At this point, Sue fell in love with painting ceramics and started selling crosses, frames, lamps, tea sets, and other ceramic items in some of the most upscale neighborhoods in Dallas, where the company is based. The crosses soon gained in popularity, and Sue Berk Designs was born. Her designs are now sold in over 1000 stores around the country.

Sue lives in Dallas with her husband, Brad Walters, their daughters Emma and Rachael, and their 2 cats, Maddie and Max. She is expecting a baby boy in December. She still loves to travel and goes to the beach with the whole family whenever she gets the chance!
