Claudia Leonard SMITH
Claudia discovered her love for architecture and design at a young age while watching her mom collect furniture, art, and other treasures. This appreciation for incorporating timeless pieces in a space is the foundation upon which each of her designs is built. Claudia is passionate about sourcing a mix of custom pieces from tradesmen, craftsmen, and other makers to pair with collected finds to create a transitional space filled with character. At the crux of each of her designs is a desire to create an inviting and intimate space that tells a story as unique as the people who enjoy it.
​
With a unique background in design, finance, and project management, Claudia founded her own boutique full-service design studio to better serve her clients. Her education and experience in Finance and Design makes her a unique exception in the industry; a creative with business acumen.
​
In her downtime, you can find Claudia doing yoga, or on a long run on the Charleston Battery. Claudia and her husband Mike love being outside on the beach, and cook every weekend together, often hosting a large group of people.
​
Claudia's favorite place in the world is Southold NY, a special town on the North Fork of Long island, where her parents have a summer house they have traveled to for over 20 years.
