It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our colleague, David Laituri. Dave served as Vice President, SmartShape Boston and was responsible for heading our studio in Boston and working with clients and prospects in the surrounding New England area. Dave was a dedicated team member of SmartShape, valued for his wise insights, exceptional creativity and talent.

Dave battled brain and lung cancer for the last year and a half, undergoing many surgeries and treatments that afforded him more time to spend doing what he loved with those he loved most. Dave passed away peacefully in his sleep due to non-cancer related issues.

Dave leaves behind his two children, Calvin and Tanja, to mourn his great loss. Dave spent this past summer creating once in a lifetime memories with his children and exploring all the great state of Vermont has to offer. This precious time helped Dave heal from the grueling, on-going treatments of his battle against brain cancer.

Dave was an amazing father, great friend and an extraordinary design talent. He leaves a legacy of innovative problem-solving, creativity and always finding beauty in the smallest of details.

We will miss him dearly.

To our clients, partners, vendors, family & friends:

We appreciate you! This past year has been a challenging one for all, and with your continued support and trust, we certainly made the best of it. Technology has played a pivotal role in keeping us all connected - from Microsoft Teams & Zoom meetings where someone undoubtedly forgets to unmute themselves, turn off their camera while having a snack, or has a kid / barking dogs wandering around in the background, to leveraging new platforms for virtual ideation sessions, to praying your home internet doesn't disconnect in the middle of a presentation - it's been quite a year! However, it hasn't dampened our holiday spirit.

From us to you... here's to a cheerful holiday and a fresh 2021!
