Your big creative partner –

why smal
Each of our clients works directly with one or more of our SMAL founders. We have fused several different design disciplines together, along with our coding department. SMAL opens the door to a myriad of personally tried-and-tested services, allowing maximum efficiency in each department. The departments work together very closely to achieve optimal results and communicate openly. We encourage an open and direct dialogue, because we find that it, in turn, encourages solution-oriented work. Seeing as SMAL is such a big fan of finding solutions, it goes without saying, that we apply this to every single project we take on…
Design and implementation go hand in hand at SMAL. We house a dedicated development team: the coders and designers work together. The work process is made highly efficient through the shared work space. Their skills merge at important intersections in the project. Thanks to such proximity, the coders and designers can overcome any tech obstacle and go on to push design boundaries.
We offer design and innovation. We are consultants and developers. More importantly, we are idea-makers, a company run by four colleagues and friends – all leaders in their respective fields. Together with this team, SMAL has worked all over the world. SMAL has worked with companies from many different sectors. SMAL has experienced an array of markets. In short, the SMAL team has amassed copious amounts of experience. Experience we are keen to share with you. We’d like to invite you to collaborate with us.
Our locations – Munich: a city which blends the traditional and the modern perfectly, and brims with inspiration. San Francisco: home to the ever-so-exciting Silicon Valley. We develop brand experiences for forward-thinking companies. We work with our clients in a highly collaborative way: the key is to embrace experimentation, embrace curiosity, embrace new ideas. Our lean structure and internal service capabilities optimize our work process in such a way that we can operate on several projects at once. These extensive capabilities allow for agility in the workflow.
A deep and extensive understanding of the consumer brings satisfaction and excitement to all of us. Our strength lies in building a powerful foundation for the client. The foundation becomes the portal to innovation. Join our culture of thinkers and creators. Let us create together! Our enthusiasm for putting a new achievement on the market, which interacts with and engages the consumers, knows no bounds. Whether the result is physical or digital, SMAL will help you create meaningful and user-friendly products.
Reviews come in all shapes in sizes. The one thing all of ours have in common is a compelling story. We are story tellers. We are the doodlers. And we are the ones who make fantasies into a reality. We love what we do and we would love to tell you about it: hello@smal.de
