STUDIO SHOSHIN - Key Persons


Alexis Smith

Job Titles:
  • Principal
While Alexis spent the first half of her career counseling Fortune 500 companies, real estate developers, and government agencies on how to communicate with the public, she's long been a student of design. Whether watching her architect father ideate on a client's new home in her youth, or moonlighting in commercial interior design for friends and family, Alexis has always been drawn to create beautiful, functional environments that are authentic to their inhabitants. With no formal design education, Alexis can't help but bend the rules of traditional interior design. Her spaces often mix traditional and contemporary elements, designer and found objects, new and vintage. Prior to launching Shoshin in 2017, Alexis served at the helm of a well-respected San Francisco public affairs firm. She holds a bachelor's degree in Political Economy from UC Berkeley and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago.
