Accolades
Hello, I’m Ergun Ahmet, an award-winning Industrial Designer and Architect based in London. I completed my undergraduate studies in Industrial Product Design (2019) and Architecture (2020) with a double major and graduated with honors from both departments. Pursuing a double major enabled me to develop the ability to manage different tasks and deadlines simultaneously. During my undergraduate years, I completed internships at four different companies. In June 2024, I completed my master’s degree in Industrial Design at UAL Central Saint Martins(ranked 2nd in QS World University Rankings for Art and Design), one of the leading institutions in the field. I pursued both my undergraduate and master’s degrees with full scholarships.
About Me
Throughout my student and professional years, I have been honored with more than 10 different awards in competitions, including a first place. My projects have been featured on prominent websites like Yanko Design, Interesting Engineering, and Trend Hunter.
I believe that design is the perfect fusion of technology, engineering, and art. By conducting thorough research and adhering to a rigorous design process, I develop tangible solutions that cater to users’ needs and their environment. I am deeply passionate about the impact that objects have in our lives, and I strive to create designs that leave a meaningful impression.
Since graduating from my Bachelor’s degree, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects with various companies, taking on roles as an industrial designer, design engineer, architect, and design mentor. I also co-founded and led two different startups, where I spearheaded team leadership. With these startup teams, I developed crowdfunding (Kickstarter) projects, raising almost $1 million in total support. Furthermore, I provided mentorship and design services to entrepreneurs at Europe’s largest entrepreneurship center, working with nearly 20 startup teams to help them develop their projects, which enhanced my communication skills and encouraged creative thinking. Additionally, throughout my career, I have been actively engaged in freelance design services, where I consistently utilize 3D modeling (Solidworks), rendering (Keyshot), and editing (Adobe suite). As I was constantly working with teams of engineers, I developed my engineering skills and specialised in CAD drawing.
