Brand Design + Strategy.

_________________________

Welcome to Smith Design Works.

Since our founding in 1989 by deft creator Jeffrey Hamilton Smith, we have amassed much acclaim for our uncanny ability to predict market movement, directing dynamic aesthetics to support them; oftentimes to cult status.

Renowned as a corporate, fashion and lifestyle branding boutique, SDW caters to any industry which begs for intelligent, edgy, clean design matched with innate well-rehearsed messaging.

As 2009 marked its 20 year anniversary, SDW continues to approach each project with due diligence in the fields of history, psychology, sociology, fine arts, graphic design, literary and design theory. In fact, SDW is much more than a traditional design studio. We are visual engineers, aesthetic psychologists, and market sociologists extrapolating logic out of chaos, intrigue out of placidity, persuasion out of apathy and communication out of info-bombardment.

We rest not in catering to petty whim, only to pacify the simplest of consumer tastes; rather we create solutions which enthrall users to the extent of a yearning involvement. In nurturing a prospective audience's desire to belong to a brand, thus becoming willing participants, one must provide seductive imagery and messaging with underlying educational and social merit.

Our aim is to create experiences which challenge and provoke, provide buzz, drama, spectacle, inspiration, surprise and worship. Experiences that participants communicate with and evangelize your brand.

For these reasons, SDW was presented the "American Design Consortium's 'Seattle's Top Studio Award for 2008.'"
