For Madeleine Smith, design is an act of storytelling. After years spent as a Creative Director building visual narratives for home and wellness brands, she founded Soline Studio to translate stories into the physical world. A California native now settled in Venice, Madeleine’s work is deeply rooted in her philosophy—intuitive design, lived-in beauty, with a California feel.

Madeleine’s work is shaped by travel and lived experience. She takes cues from the places she visits—the materials, patina, and quiet details—and brings that sensibility into each project. She believes in the power of a layered life, thoughtfully blending heirlooms and vintage finds to create spaces that feel eclectic and warm, never cluttered. For Madeleine, a home isn’t just a design project—it’s a backdrop for friendships, family, and the meaningful moments made in between.
