Bristie Smith

Meet Bristie Smith, a recent addition to our Architectural Staff. Bristie’s passion for design started early in life, descending from generations of artists and designers before her. She was trained by her father in painting and drawing, which inspired her to pursue her undergraduate studies. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Louisiana State University. Her skills in 3D visualization and desire to problem solve in a collaborative environment led her naturally to architecture. She pursued a graduate degree in Architecture from the same university. After graduating, she relocated to Dallas in 2019 and has been working in the industry since then. Her experience spans various design phases and market types, initially focusing on commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family projects.

Outside of the office, Bristie is happiest spending time with her family, twin cats, and traveling to new places. Appreciating both the vibrance of city life and the peace of the outdoors, Bristie splits her travels between the most urban cities in the U.S. and some of the most rural primarily in Montana.

During her time at Glenn|Partners, Bristie has been working with Aaron Ewert, Dan Holt, and Patrick Glenn on upcoming renovations for Northwest ISD’s Byron Nelson High School.
