About R Smith

Design leader with 20 years digital experience. I build and nurture diverse creative teams, empowering organizations through exploration. Emmy Award winner in New Approaches for NYTimes. In 2013, I co-founded SWORDS-SMITH, an innovative retailer of independent fashion and design, based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The shop offers a modern curation of more than 80 designers and brands who emphasize creativity and quality. My work spans a wide range of media including: digital products, social strategies, branded identities and editorial publications. Earlier in my career, I designed for several boutique agencies, partnering with culturally-focused clients including: Ace Hotel, adidas, Columbia University, Leica, Motown Records, The North Face, Persol, The Qatar Foundation, Ray-Ban, Univision and Vogue.
