I AM DESIGNER TONDA SMITH

HOW T'UNIQUE GOT STARTED

​

Even as a small child, I was passionate about creating art.  Growing up, my mother taught me the value of being

resourceful and not wasteful. I’m sure we’ve all heard the

saying, “don’t waste your food, there are people starving ...” Well, for me that phrase stuck and remains a part of my value system.

​

I want people feel connected to the art. When they walk

away with their art piece, they feel they have purchased a functional piece of art, a conversation piece, art in the raw.

​

After 20 years as an educator, I decided to pursue my first love… Art. Art has become part of who I am. I love what I do, and I'm thrilled to get to share my love of art with you!

MY STORE

​

I created this online creative art store that designs custom built, one-of-a kind pieces of art.  Every single piece of art using a “green” mindset.  I repurpose otherwise unappreciated items and turn them into beautiful yet functional décor.
