Skidmore Studio is getting a fresh start this year, 50 years after it opened for business.

Meet Tim Smith, the new president and CEO of the downtown Royal Oak-based firm. He is taking the reins of the design firm after serving as its president for the past few years. Mae Skidmore will remain involved with the studio in her roles as creative director and member of the executive committee.

"The idea is to take a strong foundation and build it back up," Smith says.

Skidmore Studio now employs 22 people after three hires this year. It expects to hire more next year as it continues to focus on its services of offering high-end creative solutions. Smith believes there will be much more demand for this in the next year as the economy starts to rebound.

"There is a great deal of pent-up demand," Smith says. "A lot of organizations that are prime targets for us have been sitting on the sidelines for the last 18 months."
