Welcome to Meaning Making—a space where creativity, reflection, and growth intertwine. I’m Susan Malcolm, the founder of this project, and I’m so glad you’re here.

For over 17 years, I’ve worked as a career consultant, walking alongside students as they navigate some of life’s pivotal decisions. Through this work, I’ve come to deeply value the moments when we pause, reflect, and allow ourselves to find beauty in everyday moments of understanding. I love helping others discover their strengths and passions. Meaning Making grew from this same inspiration—to offer a space where creativity, connection, and personal growth can thrive.

As a single mother of three wonderful adult children, I’ve learned the value of resilience and creativity in crafting a meaningful life. These lessons often find their way into my garden, where I draw inspiration from the grounding act of nurturing plants and watching them thrive. Gardening has taught me that tending to what matters—whether it’s a relationship, a creative project, or a dream—requires patience, care, and love. ❤️

Another passion of mine is storytelling through video creation. I’ve had the privilege of crafting videos for family milestones, such as vacations, birthdays, and meaningful celebrations. It brings me so much joy to weave together moments that tell a story, capturing the heart of what matters most. This is one of the ways I hope to inspire and support others in creating their meaningful memories.

Here at Meaning Making I hope to bring together my love of art, storytelling, and nature to help others create lives filled with meaning. Whether through mixed-media projects, reflective resources, career insights, or personalized videos, my goal is to inspire you to embrace your creativity, find clarity, and cultivate a sense of purpose in all that you do.

If you’re seeking direction in your career, craving creative expression, or simply looking to add more beauty to your everyday life, Meaning Making is here to support you. Together, let’s nurture the seeds of possibility and grow something extraordinary.🌸
