Hi, I’m Tess! I’m a New England-based Creative Lead and Photo Art Director with over 14 years of experience making home and lifestyle imagery that feels authentic, attainable, and inspiring.

I’ve spent my career bringing creative to life for brands including Wayfair, Birch Lane, AllModern, and Joss + Main. No matter the aesthetic, I thrive on translating big ideas into cohesive visual narratives that connect with people. Whether art directing on-set, building innovative photo strategies, or diving into 3D/CGI production, it’s the attention to detail and thoughtful decision-making that make the difference.

I’m drawn to partnering with brands and clients ready to tell their story with intention. @smithandberyl is where I tell mine, a place to share beautiful home inspiration and projects in the works.

Let’s connect and start creating something that feels natural, fresh, and a little unexpected together.
