MEET THE FOUNDER

Addie Smith founded Studio Adelia in 2018 as a creative capsule for meaningful expression through fine art. With a mission driven by her love of beautiful experiences, human connection, and place-making, Addie transformed the brand in 2024 to a lighting design consulting firm with the aim of elevating the human experience with the subtle and transformative power of light. With light, Studio Adelia aspires to enliven the built environment with drama - inspiring people to do, feel, and be better. Addie is continually moved by her observations and emotions in space through dance, art, and light. She brings this creative presence and momentum to each project, building on the Owner’s goals and the Design Team’s aesthetic direction.

With over a decade of experience at renown lighting design firms, including Fisher Marantz Stone, Schuler Shook, and Bouyea & Associates, Addie’s unique experience brings sophisticated ingenuity, elevated practicality, and a technical eye to a wide range of project types – from luxury retail, residential, and hospitality to mixed-use, civic, exterior facade, site, and landscape. Addie is a Certified Lighting Designer, holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a degree in Interior Design, and a Certificate in Design Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania. She speaks at conferences nationwide, guest lectures for Interior Design programs, and consults on luminaire design development.
