Richard J. Smith, AIA, NCIDQ

Creative Lead

“Story always matters.”

Rich is responsible for GuernseyTingle’s creative design group, and focuses on themed entertainment, recreational, leisure, and hospitality. For the past 24 years he’s worked as both an architect and interior designer and focuses on responding to his client’s needs while creating pleasing spaces that exceed their expectations.

A native of Williamsburg, Rich has two degrees from the Savannah College of Art & Design and spent the early years of his career with a national senior-living architectural firm. He is the recipient of a Silver Award from the American Society of Interior Designers for Corporate Interior Design.

Rich lives in James City County with his wife and two sons. He has always had a passion for theme parks and well told stories. Growing up in Williamsburg he and his family traveled to Florida every few years spending more time there as the area became a mecca for vacationers. He spends his free time coaching youth soccer, restoring cars, and searching for the perfect doughnut.
