MEET CAITY

Caity Smithson, Founder & Principal Designer

Caity, the creative force behind Mae Proper Interiors, founded the studio with a vision to create spaces that feel both inspiring and deeply functional. Guided by a reverence for natural elements and a belief in thoughtful living, her work is rooted in the idea that design should enhance the way we experience home.

​

Raised in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Caity launched Mae Proper Interiors in 2022 with the intention of making elevated, intentional design feel approachable. With a background spanning interior design, art, and construction management, she brings a well-rounded perspective to each project, balancing creativity with technical understanding to deliver spaces that are as livable as they are refined.

​

Her approach embraces a “less is more” philosophy, favoring timeless materials, quiet details, and a sense of ease. Each space is designed to evolve alongside the people who live in it, layered with meaning, memory, and a subtle sense of place.

​

“Mae,” a name passed down through generations, reflects the studio’s foundation in family, legacy, and the enduring connection between people and their homes.
