Background
The company formed in 2002 out of Los Gatos, California under the name “Misha Young Design”. Starting with Photoshop consulting but quickly growing to include Concept Sketches, surface modeling, and web design. In 2004, Logic Designworks added the additional capabilities of model making and design for manufacture. By 2006, new surface modeling tools allowed us to generate production ready files from sketches and we switched our primary CAD tool to SolidWorks. The name was changed to Logic Designworks in 2007 and the company moved from Los Gatos to its design office in Cupertino.
