About Kristy Smith

Kristy Smith is a contemporary artist, award-winning interior designer, and founder of Ino, a studio redefining how art and interiors transform both space and spirit. With over 20 years of experience designing luxury residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces in New York, Puerto Rico, and Miami, she merges her design expertise with a passion for color, symbolism, and energy alignment.

At the heart of her work is the Color Chi Method™, a framework that blends intentional color, natural symbolism, and modern minimalism to help people realign their inner and outer worlds. Through this approach, Kristy creates limited-edition fine art collections, bespoke design solutions, and consulting experiences that go beyond aesthetics to support true transformation.

Her debut fine art collection, Divine Aura—premiering at the 2025 Aspire Designer Showhouse—features dimensional butterflies in gold-leaf shadowboxes, symbolizing metamorphosis and resonance. Each piece is designed to elevate interiors while aligning the energy of the home with its inhabitants’ higher state of being—what Kristy calls their higher self.

Through both her art and her consulting, Kristy offers collectors, homeowners, and designers a rare perspective: interiors and artworks that are not only visually striking but energetically aligned to guide you toward your higher self.
