Thomas Watson, Jr, once said, “Great design will not sell an inferior product, but it will enable a great product to achieve its maximum potential". The mission of designers has traditionally been to support marketing by improving the look of a product. Designers enrich otherwise clunky and ordinary products with simplicity and style. Companies such as MDESIGN Solutions have evolved beyond design services and now provide customized technical and business solutions to address the complete customers’ needs.
