Susi has been involved in all aspects of small business management since the age of 16, first with her family's business, then her husband's, and now her own - ELEA HEALY.

Expert Remodelist - Design/Field
E: tamatha@eleahealy.com
​
Tamatha has been a Remodelist her whole life, she just didn’t realize it until the early 2000’s. After a degree in fine arts, her early design career included time spent in scenic design, fabrication art, and mural creation, to name a few. Simultaneously, she was honing her skills in service and management for local establishments. Naturally a Jill-of-all-trades, Tamatha fell in love with specifying finishes in the remodeling world and helping clients discover the vision within them. Working with craftspeople has been a key part of her entire career - thus her transition into project management. A knack for organized business systems, and a desire to create a client-focused approach was the catalyst for co-founding ELEA HEALY. Tamatha enjoys long weekend getaways to visit friends around the country, dining and entertainment adventures, and supporting our thriving local arts scene.
