AI Party at Spatial Dynamics

Our mission at Spatial Dynamics has always revolved around blending art and technology. We specialize in assisting hardware companies big and small by providing support in industrial design and strategic development. Nestled right beside Harvard Square, and just a few train stops from MIT, we have turned our studio into a hub where some of the smartest minds in technology can come together and share their passion for the art of creation. This convergence of diverse, yet like minded individuals inspired the beginning of an exciting new venture: Spatial Dynamics Research.

At Spatial Dynamics, the mantra "work hard, play hard" is more than just a saying—it's a vital part of our culture. Our office, conveniently located opposite the Harvard Graduate School of Design, is a dynamic maker space where we also host design parties. These events draw creatives from the Harvard and MIT communities, fostering discussions about art, technology, and design.

In 2022, we had the opportunity to work with Makerbot to do some experimenting on their new printer called Method X. We had such a great time on the project, they even made a video highlighting our studio.

Back in April of last year, we had a great time speaking at the Boston Hardware Meetup in Lumafield. Our talk was called “Designing Without Designers.” We couldn’t help but notice a common trend among many hardware startups – at the initial stages, a lot of emphasis tends to be on the engineering side, and usability and design is often neglected. Whether it is due to oversight, or a tight budget, many hardware teams do not have a dedicated designer.

Embarking on the adventure of bringing your hardware product to life is a mix of excitement and complexity. At Spatial Dynamics, we're not just a design agency; we're your partners in turning your vision into a tangible, user-friendly, and market-ready reality. Let's walk through what it's like to work with us at every stage of your product development journey.

In the fast-paced world of business, we often overlook the silent hero behind many successful products – industrial design. It's not just about making things look good; it's about creating experiences that leave a lasting impact. In this article, we're taking a dive into the world of industrial design, exploring why it's more than just a creative process; it's about making products that connect with people.

Why Do We Need Design Research? This is a question that often pops up as we guide our clients through our design process. The answer is simple: Good design, to us, is like a conversation. It begins with listening, unfolds through understanding, and culminates in a product that not only solves problems but connects with people. In this article, we’re taking a dive into the questions we often ask ourselves and our clients when designing a new product, and why it is so important for our design process.

We’ve seen it: startup teams with business people and engineers who value and care about design, but not a designer in sight due to scarce resources. As designers who have helped numerous startups without a design team launch their products, we came up with three key suggestions for you to go about the product development process a bit more efficiently without a designer.

With mirrors that work as fitness instructors, air purifiers that look like furniture pieces, televisions that are disguised as paintings, we are truly living in an age of technological wonders! Brands and companies are coming out with more and more high-tech hardware products that go into our homes than ever before. Though these products are exciting, we need to be constantly mindful of our consumption as e-waste is becoming more prolific.

To maximize the potential of success, the three Hs framework is a great guideline to refer to when creating a well balanced dynamic in a startup’s founding team.
