 ABOUT

who we are...

CEO

Mimi Smith, Head Designer & CEO

My artistic journey began my sophomore year at Skyline School in Oakland, CA, where I developed a passion for details while exploring thrift shops. Living in the Bay Area honed my creative eye, leading me to a Bachelor's in Architecture. Transitioning from a drafts person to Senior Project Manager at Trammell Crow and then CBRE, I felt something was missing and enrolled in an interior design certification. After working with a private designer and furniture stores, I launched Thereron Design Studio, LLC in December 2021, aiming to blend unique pieces with modern furnishings for inviting spaces.

Our Business Culture

Understanding the purpose behind our actions and the way we elevate our projects is essential. At Thereron Design Studio, we've identified four key nouns that embody our culture and goals forming the acronym CIRA.

Our aim is to ensure each project reflects these principles consistently.
