With over 30 years of experience across medical devices, consumer products, advanced manufacturing, and infrastructure, Design Smith turns ideas into working realities. Founded by Andrew Smith, P.Eng., the firm brings seasoned technical judgment and hands-on expertise to projects ranging from new product design to process improvement and innovation mentoring.
We work with manufacturers, startups, and innovators to create solutions that are practical, resilient, and grounded in integrity. Our services span product design, prototyping, Lean process optimization, and strategic advisory. Past collaborations include organizations such as Kellogg’s, Sparrow Bioacoustics, Exxon, SmartICE, and Bisco Dental — reflecting both our cross-sector agility and our commitment to Newfoundland and Labrador’s innovation ecosystem.
Design Smith partners with trusted technical specialists and subcontractors when projects demand extended expertise, ensuring every solution is comprehensive and effective. We bring rare capabilities in plastic injection-molded part design — an area where Andrew is one of the few local consultants with deep hands-on contracting experience. Alongside this, our in-house 3D printing capacity enables rapid iteration, prototyping, and proof-of-concept builds, helping clients accelerate development cycles with confidence.
Our vision is simple: to be a trusted leader in developing innovative, practical solutions that create measurable value — grounded in integrity, fairness, and continuous improvement.
