Ms. Susanka is not listed as a licensed architect in North Carolina on the states Board of Architecture website. If she is not a licensed architect, don't refer to her as an architect! If she is, have her contact the board to correct the error. Sounds like she may simply be a "designer" being referred to as an architect, which is overstating her qualifications.
