Suzana Znika-Steinmetz has designed AvantGarde Living in her image that is classical European elegance combined with a simple modernism. Growing up in Germany with parents with Croatian and Hungarian decent, Suzana had the opportunity to travel throughout northern and southern Europe. Her multi-cultural background influenced her senses of fashion, style, and design at an early age.  Moving to America two decades ago, Suzana was exposed to the American way of living and casual lifestyle. Juxtaposing old world European elements with modern design is her passion.
