Our Story
SmartShape Design was founded in 1989 by Mike Maczuzak. Our design studio is located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. SmartShape's beginnings were richly steeped in industrial design. Due to the nature of design and engineering being so interdependent, we endeavored to add mechanical engineering capabilities to our portfolio of services in 2001. Our combined services method allows us to build new products and experiences, offering integrated concept to market expertise, a true turnkey approach.
We are makers, doers and creatives.
