Forbes interviews Smart on the latest changes and trends shaping products, services, and ecosystems for clients Sephora, Ford, Pepsi, Amgen, Google, and Capital One.
In a recent Forbes article, Smart Design’s Partners Tucker Fort and Richard Whitehall share 5 keys trends that are changing product and service development.
