At Trudi Smith Designs, we design with your future in mind. We’re not just renovating rooms or selecting finishes—we’re creating the spaces where your life unfolds. Spaces that support comfort, function, and ease today, while quietly preparing for what comes next.
A beautiful home needs intention behind every decision. I lead the design process with clarity and purpose, creating considered, functional spaces for homes throughout the Greater Rochester, Finger Lakes, and Upstate New York region.
The result is a timeless, deeply personal home—design that supports comfort, safety, and ease without calling attention to itself, so everyday living feels simpler and more intentional.
“I originally approached her with a need to re-do a bathroom and she came up with an out of the box design to transform my entire first floor! It was beyond my dreams and she made it a reality. Not only did she design the plans, she helped so much with the many selections that were needed and managed the construction as well! She took so much of the overwhelm out of this process.”

Thoughtful design is never created in isolation. It’s shaped through collaboration with craftspeople and vendors who share a commitment to quality, integrity, and longevity.
Our studio partners with a carefully chosen mix of American-made manufacturers, artisan workshops, and trusted local vendors—many intentionally small in scale—who deliver exceptional results through deep expertise and hands-on craftsmanship. Together, we value thoughtful sourcing, responsible production, and a deep respect for materials and place.
These relationships allow us to create homes that feel personal, purposeful, and built to last—while supporting local economies, regional trades, and the communities we call home.
