At Surfaceink, beautiful design and premier engineering co-exist. This philosophy is infused into our process from start to finish, ensuring an uncompromised product expression and user experience, while promising exceptional performance with an affordable production cost. Our primary success metric is a shipping product that impacts culture and excels in the marketplace.
Surfaceink began in 1999 as an engineering partner to a large consumer products company. During those early days, we helped to develop many of their most innovative products. This prolific twelve-year period allowed us to refine our approach to precision engineering and establish a company standard for clean design execution. After a few years we began developing products for other tech giants and startups throughout the Silicon Valley, and have since grown a full offering of design, hardware, software and technical services. We are dedicated to creating holistic product solutions that provide great user experiences and solid business results.
