    Imran Othman is an award-winning Industrial Designer and creative leader redefining how products are imagined, engineered, and experienced across industries.

    With 15+ years of global experience, he has worked at the intersection of industrial design, transportation, consumer electronics, furniture, and AI-driven innovation—shaping products that don’t just function, but resonate.

    From contributing to motorcycle design in Shanghai and San Francisco to leading seating innovation for Ferco Seating and develop Zanotta Sacco furniture, Imran’s work sits where engineering precision meets human emotion. His approach is simple: eliminate complexity, amplify clarity, and deliver products that people actually buy and connect with.

    He became the youngest recipient of the Singapore President’s Design Award—a milestone that marked the beginning of a career defined by pushing boundaries. Since then, his work has been recognized globally, earning honors such as the A’ Design Award, DNA Paris Design Award, MUSE Design Award, and SIT Furniture Design Award.

    Imran has built and delivered across continents—Asia, North America, and Oceania—partnering with startups and global brands to turn ideas into market-ready products. His work is driven by a forward-looking mindset, integrating AI into design workflows to unlock speed, intelligence, and new creative possibilities.

    Recognized as one of Singapore’s internationally established industrial designers, he is known for creating work that is functional, commercially viable, and emotionally engaging—a rare balance in today’s design industry, beyond one-off exhibition pieces.

    His journey spans global innovation hubs including San Francisco, Shanghai, Auckland, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Singapore—each shaping a perspective that is both strategic and deeply human.

    Imran doesn’t just design products—he builds relevance.
