Aida Courtenay-Smith

Aida Courtenay-Smith is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in filmmaking and digital media. Drawing inspiration from nature, beauty, and place — Asheville, the Bay Area, and Maui — she moves fluidly between writing, video and image-making, and new adventures that continually shape her creative perspective.

For the past two years, Aida worked as a content creator, producing and editing short documentaries, music performances, and educational spiritual content. She has since made the deliberate choice to invest in her own creative vision: building a personal YouTube channel to document her life and journey, while channeling her passion for small business and storytelling into freelance marketing and media work for aligned brands and creators.
