SUSAN THAYER

Owner and CEO of Rabbit Creek

Growing up in Atlanta, Susan Thayer’s entrepreneurial spirit developed at an early age as she could often be found early Saturday morning rearranging her bedroom and selling what wasn’t wanted any longer at the end of the driveway. A true Southern Belle, the neighbors in her community found it hard to resist her charisma and personality.

Susan’s professional career began in downtown Atlanta with Georgia-Pacific Corporation where she worked for more than 5 years throughout many divisions of the company honing her sales and negotiating skills.  Later in her professional career, she combined her love of home building and interior design when she created, developed and managed a 5,000 square foot showroom for a prominent national homebuilder creating a unique buying experience for homeowners selecting designs and finishes.  Her reputation for service continued to develop and has become the hallmark of her success today. 

Her experience in the residential home industry spurred Susan to continue her education in design and architecture classes. The furniture industry was fascinating to Susan, and she eventually came to Minnesota as a manufacturers representative for a large furniture company.

Susan is very active in the American Society of Interior Designers and has served on the Board of Directors. She is a member of the Women’s Presidents Organization and a Rotary Club International Paul Harris fellow. Her community involvement has centered on assisting those with special needs through Minnesota Independence College and Community.
