About Toni Smalls

Toni Smalls is a Black and queer NYC raised and Chicago based creative. Inspired by their poetry and feelings of isolation within the home life, they create immersive worlds with written and visual language. Using insights from cultural knowledge and digital landscape, they carefully craft campaign and creative work spanning across physical experiences, digital image-making, design, curation, and production. Their work is inspired by whimsical worlds that draw from big emotions. They are drawn to the bold and daring - whether that be in multimedia campaigns, a standalone image, or a single poetic line. They are community driven - curating their own fine art exhibitions and cultural events. When they’re not doing that, you can find them watching Tiktoks or cooking a good meal.
