Sketchbook Tour: Lara D. Smith

Based in West Sussex, United Kingdom, Lara Smith created the abstract designs in her sketchbook by layering watercolor paint with line-work on tracing paper. Smith writes, “As a product designer, I used this sketchbook to explore design and form within architecture. With my imagination limited only by the rules of perspective, the book is filled with spaces I imagined during the pandemic in Spring 2020. These compositions are my ‘Quarantine Daydreams.’” Completing a BA in furniture and product design from Nottingham Trent University, Lara has tackled projects big and small with a sharp eye for clean, minimalist forms and practical functionality.
