Chad Smith (b. 1987 Potsdam, NY) is an illustrator and motion designer located in Baltimore, MD.

I’m from the most northern part of New York - an hour from Canada, an hour from Vermont.

I collaborate with researchers, scientists, and academics from diverse fields to transform complex ideas into compelling, visually engaging systems. By tailoring graphics and illustrations to suit a range of audiences, I help bridge the gap between technical expertise and broader understanding. My work enhances proposals and publications ensuring that groundbreaking research is visually clear and easily understood.

I like lots of things but spend most of my time dragging the dogs around, looking for mushrooms, and finding ways to get in large bodies of water.
