About
Luke Ryan – Industrial & Product Designer (Medical Devices & Plastics)
I am an experienced industrial and product designer with over six years of expertise in developing medical devices, wearable sensors, and injection-moulded plastic products. With a Master’s in Medical Device Design, a BSc in Product Design, and a Diploma in UX Design, I bring a strong mix of technical, creative, and human-centred design skills.
My background spans the full design process—from concept development and CAD modelling (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) through to technical drawings, prototyping, and manufacturing handover. I have extensive experience designing injection-moulded components, working with suppliers on tooling, and ensuring products are both user-friendly and cost-effective.
Key strengths include:
2D/3D design, CAD modelling, and rendering (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Keyshot)
Knowledge of plastics, mould design, and manufacturing processes
Human-centred design, usability testing, and workflow optimisation
Prototyping (physical and digital) to validate designs early
Material selection, CMF consistency, and supplier collaboration
I have worked with hospitals, clinicians, and international teams across Europe and the USA, creating products that improve usability, ergonomics, and patient outcomes. My approach combines creativity with technical rigour to deliver designs that are practical, safe, and ready for production.
I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced projects and bring a strong track record of delivering high-quality, market-ready designs.
