Hi, I’m Sam. With over 15 years of experience as a creative director, writer and communications strategist in the advertising industry, I’ve built and elevated brands of all sizes and categories. Through One Smith Studio, I pair my branding and storytelling expertise with a fresh interior design approach to support entrepreneurs through a uniquely streamlined service.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Working with Sam has proven to be one of the best business decisions I have ever made.”
“When I made the decision to pursue my dream of opening a coffee shop with a children’s play space, I underestimated the challenges ahead. While I had carefully crafted our mission, business plan, and envisioned the overall ambiance, bringing that vision to life proved to be a daunting task.
Enter Sam Smith.
Sam not only rose to the challenge but shattered my expectations. She assisted in selecting furniture, paint colors, and fixtures that perfectly aligned with our distinct vision. She validated our unconventional choices and provided invaluable guidance on execution – keeping in mind our visual aesthetic and need for functionality and durability.
She facilitated connections with talented designers and creative experts to ensure our branding was seamlessly integrated across all platforms, from our physical space to our online presence.
Thanks to Sam’s efforts, we were able to create a meaningful space that not only bolstered our business but also became a cherished community hub.
Working with Sam has proven to be one of the best business decisions I have ever made. I am profoundly grateful for her talent, perspective, and creative approach.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Not only did Sam jump in immediately to create a plan, but she facilitated every detail to make it happen.”
“I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Sam! We met just one month before the buildout of Cavelier was schedule to be complete. I needed an expert to create a feature wall behind the bar. Not only did Sam jump in immediately to create a plan, but she facilitated every detail to make it happen.
After touring the space and reviewing my current design plans, Sam had suggestions for lighting changes, wallpaper in the bathrooms and the front of the bar that all made huge impacts to the overall design! It was a tight timeline to get it all in, but Sam facilitated many connections with suppliers and contractors that made it go smoothly and not add more to my plate.
Sam is SO talented at not only interior design. She understands working with contractors, trades, and sticking to timelines. She also created a PR plan and content leading up to our grand opening that helped us gain traction before opening the doors.
Sam truly took my vision to the next level all while working in a super tight timeline. I am grateful for all her work and can’t wait to partner with her more in the future!”

Residential Interior Design Packages
Every space is unique and everyone prefers a different level of support. To find out if my services fit your interior design needs, we’ll start with a complimentary call about your project, goals, budget, timeline, and what you’re looking for in a design partner. From there, I’ll draft a proposal customized for your project and preferences.
Full-Service Design
The most popular design partnership is the full-service package, which can be tailored to virtual and local clients and typically includes:
Mood Boards
Design Boards
Detailed Floor Plan & Furniture Layout
Paint, Wall Treatment & Finish Selections
Shop-able Source List
Contractor Communication
Styling recommendations
& more
60-Minute Consult
The one-hour video consult is a great option for those not ready to invest in full-service design or who just need support selecting a color palette or wall treatments, solving a tricky layout, or want general furnishing guidance.
Prior to the call, you’ll be asked to share photos and key measurements of the space as well as any preferences and inspiration. I’ll come prepared with ideas to make the most of our time!
The one-hour consult does not include design boards, product links or follow-up recommendations.
Cost: $325 USD
