Design Rooted in Purpose.
Partnerships Built on Trust.
I’m Carol Smith-McGee, the creative force behind Smith-McGee Designs.
I started Smith-McGee Designs to support organizations that are doing important work but don’t have access to in-house creative teams or large agency resources.
I believe that clear, confident communication is the key to helping small businesses and nonprofits thrive. Guided by faith and a dedication to service, I partner with organizations to create design, marketing, and storytelling solutions that are strategic, thoughtful, and purpose-driven.
My Mission
My mission is to help small businesses and nonprofits communicate clearly and confidently through strategic design, thoughtful marketing, and purposeful storytelling by providing professional, high-quality creative support through flexible, right-sized solutions that respect real-world budgets—helping organizations build trust, strengthen their brand, and advance their mission.
Values—What Guides My Work
- Serve—Guided by faith, I act with honesty, integrity, and a commitment to doing what’s right for my clients.
- Connect—I craft clear, purposeful communications that help organizations be understood and build meaningful relationships with their audiences.
- Collaborate—I listen carefully, communicate openly, and work side-by-side with clients as trusted creative partners.
- Deliver—We execute every project with care and precision, ensuring work that is polished, thoughtful, and effective.
At Smith-McGee Designs, I’m a partner in your mission, committed to helping your organization succeed through design that inspires confidence and fosters connection.
