My Design Journey

At Almanzar Designs, our purpose is not simply to create beauty—but to uncover it. We look beyond the noise of passing trends to find what is timeless, essential, and quietly powerful. Design, to us, is a spiritual practice—an intentional approach to bring the soul of the home to life.


“ I’m Timothy Smith - Designer, Storyteller, and Founder of Almanzar Designs.

My love for interiors began long before degrees and credentials. It started with my grandmother, Phillis Almanzar, who curated her space with comfort, warmth, and love. Being raised by her taught me that a home is more than just a building - it’s a sanctuary. A space filled with meaning, purpose, and a reflection of who you are.

With a BA in Art & Design and an Interior Design certificate from the New York Institute of Art & Design, I’ve spent over five years crafting interiors that feel like memory - familiar, intentional, soulful. Each project is a journey to create not just a beautiful space, but one that feels like it’s always been yours. ”
