Mary Anne, recognized by her peers as one of the top designers in Dallas for several years, was born in Seminole, Oklahoma and is an honor graduate of Oklahoma State University. One of the first designers registered in the State of Texas after passing the NCIDQ exam, Ms. Smiley is a professional member of ASID, and is four qualified in AutoCAD. Ms. Smiley has been published in a myriad of publications, and is the recipient of numerous awards for excellence in design.
Ms. Smiley began drawing house plans in fourth grade. Her obsession led her to enroll in Architecture at OSU. But it was the mid 60’s and to her surprise she was informed by the Dean that “women do not enroll in architecture.” Not to be daunted, Ms. Smiley walked across the street to enroll in Interior Design and Fine Art and launched her successful career in interior design. She professes it has been a marvelous adventure ever since.
Ms. Smiley’s career path has taken her from Oklahoma to Colorado, California, and Texas with projects completed on both coasts and all in between. After living for 18 years in Athens, Texas, a magnet for getaway homes and ranches of the rich and famous of Dallas, Ms. Smiley relocated her design firm to Dallas.
Ms. Smiley is known for her use of bright spots of pure color supported by soft lovely pearl finish backgrounds, and for her avant-garde mix of exquisite antiques and layers of sumptuous textiles with contemporary and cutting edge products from metallics to recycled plastics. Her AutoCAD skills have given her the ability to design her own furnishings and products, when unique and creative solutions are required, resulting in recognition for product design.
Ms. Smiley loves color and was one of the pioneers of the use of bright color in Dallas, and consequently in the US.
Ms. Smiley loves time at home with her family, a grown daughter with her own professional career and 3 mini dachshunds and a golden retriever. She and her daughter have a love of all forms of art and nature, and enjoy dabbling in water colors purely for personal pleasure. Ms. Smiley recently illustrated the children’s book, SAM’S BIRTHMARK.
Miss Smiley has been on the Best Designers in Dallas list for the past 9 years, and was celebrated in 2013 as one of the FAB FIVE TOP DESIGNERS IN DALLAS by Luxe and roche Bobois.
