Background

About Corinne Smith

Spirited color, innovative sustainability, and exacting detail are unlikely elements to find combined in just one design. My work is able to fuse them, because I as a person am a fusion. My adolescent years were not typical. I was a young girl playing national level ice hockey. Every day I practiced precision, driving to be the best. By my teen years, I realized my creative brain was hungry. I immersed myself in theater, finding costume and set design as rewarding as acting itself. I drove myself to prepare for college auditions. I signed up for design “camp” at a local university to see what an arts program was like. Each interior design session opened my eyes more! I never realized how the entire mood of a space could change based on a few decisions. Did that contribute to why I found some classes hard to focus in? What if some of the things hindering my classmates were part of the design? I had discovered a passion able to fuse my creativity, attention to detail, and deep desire to help others. At SCAD, I have been broadened to see the wide range of ways I can help people through design. I want to give people permission to work more efficiently, with better focus, and at their happiest in spaces created to help. I want to promote diversity, designing spaces that welcome all abilities. Underneath that all, I long to emphasize sustainability and keep our planet healthy. My passion is to create work that fuses color, function, health, and joy. I hope you will explore my portfolio and enjoy the designs that passion has created.
