Julie Regan Smith practiced 30-plus years in both commercial and high end residential Interior Design. Her education includes a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and a minor in business. While attending college classes she was awarded a part time internship with a top Interior Designer in Los Angeles. And that is where it all began.
After a successful career, recently retired Julie decided to share her experience and what it takes to be a leading Interior Designer. Her first book, “Green Is Not a Color”, offers a practical, straight forward and passionate approach to her craft. Julie's writing offers insight into how to interact and gain a clientele, how to retain existing clients, how to prepare and research a presentation, how to balance all the moving parts of a project, and how to reach the grand finale, installation. Her direct yet poignant book is also laced with anecdotal tales and experiences from her illustrious career.
During her profession, Julie was always interested and delighted to assist, teach, and offer guidance to her clients, as well as mentor those who aspired to become interior designers. Julie always understood and felt it was important to give back when the opportunity presented itself.
The daily mantra Julie shares and practices to this day is, "Do what you love and love what you do."
