Kasey Smith, founder and principal designer of Kasey Smith Interiors, discovered her love for art and design at a young age. She later refined that passion at NC State’s College of Design and through professional work across a range of creative mediums before launching her own interior design firm in 2020.

A mother of two rambunctious boys and a golden retriever, wife, equestrian, surfer, ocean lover, and foodie, Kasey is deeply passionate about creating beautiful spaces and the power your environment has in influencing your mental wellbeing. Drawing inspiration from art, fashion, architecture, and the eastern coastline, her aim is to blend timeless elegance with a sense of ease, creating interiors that are sophisticated, welcoming, and enduring.⁠

Kara’s love of design began in childhood, spending school days off by her father’s side on construction sites - wandering through unfinished spaces, watching designers at work, and absorbing the art of creating environments. By middle school, she knew her dream: interior design. She pursued every design class her high school offered and went on to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Interior Design from Cape Fear Community College.

Today, Kara brings that lifelong passion into her role as a Technical Designer and Design Manager, translating vision into precise plans and overseeing projects with meticulous care. When she’s not crafting her next inspired space, she can be found outdoors, exploring with her miniature Australian Shepherd, Millie.

Trisha Price, 2025

“Project management meets creativity and beauty! As a detail-oriented person, I was continuously impressed by how everything was handled and I could trust the team. You have a gift for sizing and placement that feels just right. Working together was great because there was predictable communication, well designed drafts, images, plans, and proposals. Having a full service, professional that is detail oriented is worth every penny. We loved the process of working together and the high quality materials and pieces we received.”

Leah Bussert, 2025

“My husband and I recently worked with Kasey Smith Interiors to furnish our beach house, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Kasey and Kara were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. What impressed us most was their ability to bring together such a beautiful variety of textiles and design elements while staying true to our personal style. As product designers ourselves, we’re both pretty opinionated, but Kasey and Kara handled our input with such professionalism and creativity. They really listened to our vision and transformed it into a cohesive, stunning space that truly feels like home. The attention to detail and their eye for design created a beach house that we absolutely love living in. Every room feels perfectly curated yet comfortable and inviting. We’ve received so many compliments from friends and family! We highly recommend Kasey Smith Interiors to anyone looking for professional, talented designers who genuinely care about creating spaces their clients will love.”

We have been so pleased with your design of our kitchen (so beautiful and functional) as well as of two bathrooms (inviting for relaxation, calming, awesome combination of details).
