Design Smith

Jude Smith is a designer and printmaker living in rural Norfolk. Her limited-edition prints are created in a variety of mediums and combine a love of bold, eye-catching design with expressive mark making. Her trade name combines her commonplace surname and its association with craft, skill and passion with her love of a strong design aesthetic.

Jude, like many naturally gifted makers and creators, didn’t actually begin her creative pursuits until later in life. Having ticked off horticulture and landscape archaeology, it’s creating superbly contrived graphics and illustrations that finally fit the mould.

“Much of my work is inspired by my background in graphic design and is often inspired by form, colour and typography and is a celebration of the beauty of everyday objects.”
