About Kristy Smith & Ino

Kristy Smith is a contemporary artist, interior designer, and founder of Ino, a studio redefining how art and interiors transform the energy of a space and the people within it. With a background in high-end interior design and over 20 years of experience collaborating on luxury residential projects, commercial, & hospitality projects, Kristy merges her interior design expertise with her passion for color and symbolism to create environments that are both visually striking and energetically aligned.

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 method, Kristy creates bespoke, limited-edition art and design solutions that serve as more than décor, they become tools for transformation.

Her debut fine art collection, Divine Aura, handcrafted in Greece and premiering at the 2025 Aspire Designer Showhouse, showcases her signature motif: delicate, dimensional butterflies suspended in shadowboxes. 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 “Divine Aura.”

Drawing from her interior design background, Kristy brings a fresh, intuitive voice to luxury art and décor. Her work sits at the intersection of design and wellness, offering collectors, homeowners, and designers rare pieces that hold both beauty and meaning.

Currently, Kristy is expanding Ino into a multi-layered platform, blending art, interiors, and personal growth tools. Alongside her art collections, she is developing her Color Chi art collection & workbooks , set to launch in Fall 2025. These creations guide individuals to align their ienergy with their outer living spaces, embodying Ino’s mission: interior meets intuition.
