Mark Smith

Developed an innovative approach to product design and product development utilizing generative and parametric algorithms to partly automate the design process. Collaborating with the algorithm tool empowers not only the ability to scale a new collection in record time but to offer customization services unlike anything currently available in the jewelry market. This groundbreaking way approach to not only design, but scaling a business, led me to turn a studio project into a start-up business.

A cutting-edge design studio that is passionate about the intersection of art, technology, design, strategy and craft. Serving clients in UX, Furniture, decor and Lighting product design, and innovation strategy.
