    ENGINEERING
    THE UNEXPECTED.

    Founded in 2017 by engineers and designers with backgrounds in aviation, transportation, and high-performance product development, ONMOTIO is a London-based studio built with a clear objective: bring real products to market, not just concepts.

    We work at the intersection of industrial design and engineering, helping founders and companies transform ideas into manufacturable, market-ready products. Our approach is grounded in technical rigor, structured thinking, and a deep understanding of real-world constraints.

    That intersection is our approach. Design and engineering are worked together from the first sketch, and the engineering serves the design: the form and the experience a product was imagined for are kept, and made to work, hold up and go through the factory.

    Over the years, we have collaborated with startups, scale-ups, and established companies across multiple industries, delivering products that are not only visually compelling, but engineered to perform, scale, and succeed commercially. Since 2017: 150+ projects delivered, 50+ products shipped, and CES Innovation Awards Honoree in 2020 and 2021.

    [ WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO ]

    We design products.And we build them from the ground up.

    From early ideation to production-ready engineering, our work covers the full product development cycle. This includes concept creation, CAD development, mechanical engineering, prototyping, and preparation for manufacturing.

    Our role goes beyond the look of an idea: we structure it, challenge it, and turn it into a viable product that can exist in the real world.

    Explore our core capabilities: Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Firmware, and Prototyping.

    [ OUR PHILOSOPHY ]

    Strong concepts matter morethan anything else.

    We believe that a well-defined concept, built with both design and engineering in mind from the start, prevents costly iterations later in the process. Our work focuses on clarity, structure, and intentional decisions.

    Aesthetics matter, and they never work alone. Every line, every component, and every choice must serve a purpose, whether it is usability, manufacturability, or performance.

    Our background in demanding industries such as aviation and transportation has shaped our standards. We apply that same level of rigor to every product we develop, regardless of its scale or market.

    [ HOW WE WORK ]

    Structured, iterative, andfocused on execution.

    We typically operate in three main phases: ideation, product development, and prototyping. Each phase is designed to reduce uncertainty, validate decisions, and move the project forward with clarity.

    We collaborate closely with our clients, combining their vision with our technical expertise. The goal is always the same: build a product that is realistic, functional, and ready for the next step, whether that is prototyping, fundraising, or manufacturing.

    [ WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ]

    ONMOTIO works differently froma traditional design studio.

    We operate as a product partner rather than a service provider. This means we think beyond deliverables and focus on outcomes: feasibility, scalability, and market fit.

    Our strength lies in combining design sensitivity with engineering depth. This allows us to bridge the gap that often exists between concept and production.

    We also maintain a flexible structure, supported by a strong internal core team and an extended network of specialized collaborators. This enables us to adapt to a wide range of projects while maintaining high standards of execution.

    [ PARTNER NETWORK ]

    A vetted network forevery specialty.

    Since 2017 we have built a network of freelancers, partner studios and factories that we work with project after project. Each one joined after delivering on one of our projects, and stays because they keep delivering.

    Series injection molding, small-batch production, textile, upholstery and leather, high-power test benches, AI model development, sheet metal, welding, and more. We coordinate them for you, so you keep one point of contact. When a product needs a specialty outside the core team, we bring in the right person instead of saying no.

    • Series injection molding
    • Small-batch production
    • Textile, upholstery and leather
    • High-power test benches
    • AI model development
    • Sheet metal
    • Welding
    • And more

    [ LEADERSHIP & GLOBAL REACH ]

    A passionate and diverse team ofcreative and technical minds.

    ONMOTIO is led by a core team of designers and engineers with complementary expertise across product design, mechanical engineering, and prototyping. The team operates across multiple locations, allowing continuous progress and close collaboration with clients worldwide. Our two co-founders and our head of product development lead every project, with three industrial designers and three engineering and prototyping specialists alongside them. One of the three leads stays your contact from the brief to the prototype.
