Beth Diana Smith, Interior Design Studio

After the Thanksgiving break if you’re anything like me you need a pick me up to get back into the work mode, and I thought my interview with New Jersey-based interior designer Beth Diana Smith was the perfect conversation to lift your spirits.   In this episode, we dig into how Beth took a leap of faith left her job in finance, and followed her passion to become an interior designer.  A new episode airs every Monday this fall.

After more than a decade in accounting and finance at companies like Viacom and Johnson & Johnson, Beth Diana Smith left the corporate world to launch her own interior design firm. Her eye for aesthetics paired with her project management experience culminates in a truly unique approach to design. Her signature style is modern and eclectic with luxurious finishes and custom furnishings. Each vignette is a functioning art installation in its own right. Above all, her work is client-centric as she helps each homeowner hone in on their own style and create a space that inspires them and enhances their lifestyle. Beth’s goal for each project is to elevate the lives of her clients by first elevating their daily environment. 

Beth holds a Master of Science degree from Seton Hall University and a degree from the New York School of Interior Design. She is a founding member of the Black Artists + Designers Guild , a member of the 2020 House Beautiful Advisory Council, and an Associate member of the American Society of Interior Designers.
