Miranda Guinn Smith started MS Studio Designs in late 2003. Having worked as a designer for both an architectural firm and an interior design firm, she had a clear idea of what she wanted to create in a business: a practice that served her clients above all else. A place where "sky's the limit" creativity was paired with real world budgets to generate environments in which her clients could work, play, and grow. So she started her own company to preserve her vision.

A year and 27 clients later, MS Studio Designs is serving a broad spectrum of San Diegans. Ms. Smith has created expansive, unique designs for clients with the capital to accommodate their imaginations. In addition she has shaped the environments of those clients who are looking for the best way to draw out the beauty and functionality of their homes on a more restrictive budget. She has designed commercial as well as residential spaces; always focusing on the desires of her clients, their personalities, and ways to make their surroundings suit their individual lifestyles.

In the coming year, this young, dynamic company will continue to grow and change. Having grown up in San Diego, as well as receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Interior Design from the San Diego Design Institute, Ms. Smith feels that there is no better place for her to be serving clients. Ms. Smith looks forward to expanding her client base through satisfied customer referrals, (her current sole means of marketing), and increasing her knowledge of client needs and how to efficiently meet those needs. She anticipates creating atmospheres in which many different people from all walks of life will feel comfortable and counts herself fortunate to be living in this great melting pot of society.

The business will continue to serve the needs of any San Diegan. In the next 3-5 years, Ms. Smith would like to see her company have two divisions: one accommodating larger, more extensive and renovating designs; the other serving clients who would simply like a consultant help them find the best ways to perk up their spaces without a large price tag. In both divisions of her company, Ms. Smith plans to see her original vision live: to serve her clients by bringing their ideas and personalities into their living environments, and creating an ambiance that cultivates the way they want live.
