Hello! I’m Jamie Smith
Designing spaces has always come naturally to me, and after an extensive career as a massage therapist and health coach, I wanted to bring a healer’s sensibility to interior design. After formal design education, I continued my professional development by studying biophilic design and neuroaesthetics, healthier materials, and the nexus between the built environment, nature, and well-being.
CERTIFICATIONS & DEGREES
Land Acknowledgement
The Portland Metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River. Indigenous people have created communities and summer encampments to harvest and enjoy the plentiful natural resources of the area for the last 11,000 years.
We want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, and future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
We also acknowledge the systemic policies of genocide, relocation, and assimilation that still impact many Indigenous/Native American families today. As settlers and guests on these lands, we respect the work of Indigenous leaders and families and pledge to make ongoing efforts to recognize their knowledge, creativity, and resilience.
