Dr Smith holds a PhD in Contextual Design and has previously taught both university degrees and private workshops. In recent years she has moved away from academia to focus on design practice. She still occasionally offers guest lectures at certain universities, and is available to run design workshops for selected business clients.

Through SPELK Studio, Dr Smith’s work explores the intersection of British heritage and modern design, often drawing on regional history and personal memory to create pieces with a strong sense of place and style.

Each item created by SPELK Studio is crafted with care by skilled artisans in British workshops, thus supporting manufacturing jobs and the UK economy, as well as ensuring high environmental and social responsibility standards.
