Born and raised in Tokyo, Shoko Smith came to the United States over a decade ago. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Commercial Arts/Graphic Design, and has been practicing graphic design professionally for more than 15 years. Shoko’s design skills were refined by working in advertising and design agencies before joining GSBS Architects. Her focus now is in designing spaces that represent clients’ brands through experiential design. Shoko Smith has experience in a wide variety of project types from educational facilities to street redevelopment, and from creating branding and signage design standards to assisting fundraising effort for clients.
