Who We Are

Trudi Smith: August 2023

Trudi brings a fresh perspective to interior design in the Upstate New York Finger Lakes Region.

As a CAPS-Certified interior designer with an education in Architectural Design, Trudi has expertise in interior architecture. She draws inspiration from Upstate New York’s unique and historic structures. Her passion for building, rooted in childhood projects and school shop classes, shapes her approach to creating spaces that foster family connections.

Beyond her supportive family, Trudi has cultivated a trusted network of contractors, artisans, and specialists. While she may be the sole designer, she collaborates closely with these professionals to bring her visions to life. This approach allows her to maintain the personalized touch of a solo designer while leveraging the expertise of a broader team.

Trudi’s designs reflect her belief that great interiors should enhance family life, creating homes where memories are made and relationships flourish. Whether kayaking with her husband or gathering around campfires with loved ones, these family moments inspire her to craft warm, inviting spaces that bring families closer together. Her unconventional path, love for nature, and family-centered philosophy define her unique approach to interior design, ensuring each project nurtures the bonds of home and family.
