Industrial design and mechanical engineering.
I bring ideas into focus through research, CAD,
physical making and technical detail.
A product designer's perspective.
An engineer's attention to detail.
SELECTED PROJECT / 012024
Ignis
Inclusive product design
A curiosity about how things
look, work and come together.
My work spans personal products, furniture, interiors and industrial equipment, alongside mechanical building services. The scale changes. The attention to the detail stays.

Rian Edmondson
BSc Product Design · First Class HonoursBournemouth University
I work across industrial design and mechanical building services, connecting the shape of an idea with the detail needed to develop it.
My background in product design includes sketching, CAD, prototyping, materials and manufacturing. Professional experience at AirPress Developments brought that work into an industrial setting, with product engineering, renders, animations and assembly information.
My subsequent building services experience includes mechanical and public-health design, data-centre design support and industrial environments. I use the same curiosity at both scales: understand the requirements, develop the options and make the design clear.
