The Woman Behind Live In This Second
Evelyn A. Smith
Evelyn A. Smith is a true polymath and a multidisciplinary artist, designer, lyricist, and entrepreneur whose creative universe defies easy categorization. As the founder of EAS Symphony, Smith blends art, fashion, music, and storytelling into a cohesive and ever evolving vision. What began in 2011 as Love’s Beauty Photography has blossomed into a comprehensive creative house dedicated to identity driven expression, anchored by the foundational philosophy of more love and more you.
The architecture of Smith’s work is highly intentional, bifurcated to serve different facets of her audience. EAS Symphony operates as her bespoke atelier, offering custom art, visual design, and services that reflect the unique identities of her clients. In contrast, Live In This Second serves as her lifestyle and retail branch, which is a curated e-commerce collection of handmade jewelry, apparel, and premium merchandise designed as treasures for your seconds. Continuing to push boundaries, she expanded her universe in 2024 with the launch of Lez Extra, a dynamic pop up brand celebrating queer individuality and bold expression.
Operating at the intersection of faith, theology, and the modern queer experience, Smith’s mediums are as boundless as her interests. Her creative impulse refuses to be contained to a single canvas. She is a prolific writer, and she approaches both cooking and baking with the same meticulous, type A dedication she brings to her high end design work. To Smith, the culinary arts and prose are simply different languages for the same core mission of pure expression.
Driven by a commitment to integrity and reclamation, Smith centers voices that have often been sidelined by the mainstream. Through every custom painting, handcrafted product, or written word, her work serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is an open invitation to engage with the world deeply, to lead with love, and to live in this second.
The Young Artist
Long before the brand or the business, there was just the instinct to create, to design, and to reimagine. At five years old, Evelyn A. Smith was not just playing; she was observing, sketching, and constantly redesigning the world around her. Whether it was the clothes on her back or the vision in her head, she understood early that if the world did not look the way she imagined it, she had the power to change it.
That little girl with the big ideas did not know she was building the foundation for a creative universe, but she was expressing her truth. Today, that same five year old’s curiosity drives the core of EAS Symphony. It is the same relentless pursuit of more love and more you that started in childhood and continues to evolve with every piece of art, every design, and every treasure created today.
