Our California Industrial Design Agency Awarded an IDA Award!
The IDA award was created by a handful of designers, thinkers, and entrepreneurs who wanted to change the lack of recognition and celebration of smart and sustainable multidisciplinary designs made by talented designers and creatives from all over the world.
The award exists to recognize and promote legendary design visionaries in order to uncover emerging talent in architecture, interior, product, graphic, and fashion design. Through the IDA, the award aspires to draw attention to iconic design worldwide and conceptualize what exceptional design looks like.
Our California industrial design agency, MAKO Design + Invent, was happy to hear that we’ve recently been awarded by IDA (International Design Awards) won gold in the best product design for children’s toys with Moonlite! Moonlite is an innovative children’s toy that reinvents the way that we read and spend time with our children.
Right before bedtime, parents can spend quality time reading a projected story to their children through a slideshow story attached to the back of their phones. Not only does this make it easier for both parties to see and read the story but it also makes the story more visual, interactive, and fun!
Moonlite comes in an array of colors and has a large selection of children’s stories to choose from that is perfect for every bedtime.

MAKO Wins GOLD from the 2019 Indigo Design Awards!
The Indigo Design Awards are prestigious awards that exist to encourage and promote creativity for your award-winning design firm. The award ceremony is held annually in the most cutting-edge cities and nominees are judged by a jury of handpicked innovators and designers.
Our California industrial design agency, MAKO Design + Invent, is proud to join the list of winners in the 3D CAD category for its work on the Benetti Watch. The Benetti Watch was designed by our team and created from the finest materials, which places it above its competition.
The concept of the watch was developed from an idea, refined through the development and mechanical engineering, and advanced further in prototyping, which was then assisted by 3D CAD renderings, hand sketching, concept design, digital sketching, product planning, and package design through to production.
