About Us

Samantha D. Smith MA (Interior Design), SIDC, LEED Green Associate, CMP

At SDS Designs, we believe that your surroundings are an active part of your well-being. The spaces you inhabit shape your emotions, focus, energy, and the quality of your everyday life. That’s why we design with purpose by blending empathy, artistry, and the science of how environments influence the mind and body.

SDS Designs was founded by Samantha Smith, an interior designer driven by the belief that a home should not only look beautiful but feel deeply supportive to live in. Her approach emerged from years of studying how design affects the nervous system, emotional health, and personal growth.

Guided by research in neuroaesthetics, biophilia, and environmental psychology, SDS Designs creates spaces where beauty and well-being exist in harmony.

Every project begins with awareness of how your surroundings affect your mood, energy, and daily rhythm. We explore how space shapes your sense of peace and possibility, then design in a way that helps your environment give back to you. This approach blends intuition with evidence, creating spaces that nurture clarity, grounding, and a quiet sense of restoration.

At SDS Designs, design is about presence and being attuned to what feels genuine, balanced, and alive. We create homes that honor who you are while gently supporting who you’re becoming.

We believe a well-designed home is the foundation for a well-designed life.
