In this 20-minute episode, Wendy Cohen, and guest, Susan El-Naggar, discuss the intersection of beauty, wellness, and service—and how staying connected to purpose has defined their paths.

Wendy Cohen, host of PowerHouse Cool Collabs, interviews interior designer and trailblazing creative, Susan El-Naggar, for a rich conversation about transformation—both personal and professional. Susan shares her remarkable 25-year journey from launching Healing Environments in 2012, a firm rooted in wellness and sustainable design, to her 2024 rebrand as Susan El-Naggar Interior Design, a national luxury design studio now expanding into international markets.

From her early spark for fabrics and sketching to her leadership role as past president of ASID Illinois, Susan reflects on the power of community, education, and certification to shape a career of meaning and impact. Susan shares how immersing herself in the ASID Illinois community helped shape her as a leader, and why continuous education—and gratitude—remain central to her professional and personal life.

With credentials like WELL AP, LEED Green Associate, and NCIDQ under her belt, she’s now hired by discerning clients across the country—and is setting her sights on global projects that merge tranquility, health, wellness with timeless luxury.

Through every chapter, Susan remains grounded in gratitude and driven by a desire to elevate the human experience through design. Tune in for this inspiring conversation about reinvention, service, and the art of creating spaces that soothe the soul and celebrate sophistication.
