We lead pioneering research that tackles major challenges in design policy, idea management, engineering and conceptual design, insight development, through-life design and sustainable design, underpinned by unique 'visual thinking' techniques.

Our education programmes develop forward-thinking professionals who can integrate engineering creativity and design thinking across management, engineering, communication and commerce.

Our innovative approach has made us the design partner of choice for global brands and businesses, and we work with corporate, government, public sector and not-for-profit organisations to translate technology-based opportunities into market-ready solutions.
