About Odile Smith

Odile has spent most of her career in sourcing and procurement, always with a focus on sustainability—even before it became a buzzword. Over the years, she has worked with countless brands and suppliers, but at the core of her work has always been a deep concern for how business decisions impact both people and the planet.

In more recent years, she discovered biophilic design, which immediately resonated with her. It felt as though all the pieces fell into place—combining her love for nature with her professional expertise. This realization inspired her to expand her vision, and her Buying Office, The Biophilic Hub, soon evolved into a platform dedicated to supporting professionals committed to creating spaces and businesses that care deeply for both people and nature.

Through this work, Odile and her team provide support in identifying alternatives for specifications and, with the expertise of sustainability specialists, offer technical guidance, source suppliers, negotiate contracts, oversee delivery, and, where needed, ensure white-glove installation.

Most recently, Odile has also partnered with the Journal of Biophilic Design, where the shared aim is to accelerate change in the design world—making it easier for architects and interior designers to transition toward nature-centered design.
