History

Established in 1989.

SmartShape was started in 1989 by Mike Maczuzak, an industrial designer with a passion for innovation and creating beautiful, intuitive, useful products. In the early 1990s, we grew to be a team of industrial designers and our clients came to rely on us for consistently generating fresh ideas and patentable intellectual property.

As our reputation for innovative design grew, so did the breadth and scope of our expertise. In addition to highly creative industrial designers, our firm has grown to include business strategists, program managers, engineers with advanced degrees, and experts in tooling and manufacturing. We now have the end-​to-​end expertise to deliver market-​ready design solutions and assist clients with manufacturing.
