Ewan R.

Freelance product designer — Sport, innovation & rapid prototyping

Freelance product designer specializing in technical products for sports and mobility.

I help companies and startups transform their ideas into useful, high-performing, and sustainable products by combining design, engineering, and rapid prototyping.

My approach is based on three pillars:

User-centered design

Understanding the real needs of users to design intuitive, effective, and relevant products.

Solid technical foundation

Background in mechanics and physics to develop reliable, optimized, and industrializable products.

Rapid prototyping & experimentation

3D printing, composites, and multi-materials to quickly test, iterate, and validate concepts.

I also pay close attention to material research and eco-design, exploring solutions like natural fibers, technical polymers, and bio-based composites.
