our expertise
Vehicle Schematics & Strategy
The spatial and strategic foundation of a vehicle, established before design begins, defining proportions, packaging logic, and the shared language teams need to move forward with confidence.
Our work typically begins before specifications are fixed, helping teams define the vision, architecture, and experience that engineering and marketing can align around.
We test hundreds of options for layouts, and design intents to ensure the optimum vision for a vehicle can be met at the concept phase, all the way through to manufacture. Limitations and considerations are seen as positives, and fuel our creativity in designing novel solutions.

Industrial design
Employing a human-centric approach, and working with the realities of engineering we design beautiful and unique transport solutions, built for the real world.
Our design philosophy puts people at the heart of any decision. We collaborate with pilots, astronauts, drivers, and riders to fully understand the needs of those using the vehicle. From seats and interiors to ingress and egress, we run multiple studies using digital and physical tools to validate and improve ergonomics and human interaction, making our designs feel natural.
We shape cohesive design visions through physical form. Our industrial design has supported real projects which have raised over $1bn in investment.

Transport design
We understand constraints, certification, and engineering systems, not just form. Our transport industrial design across ground, sea, air, and space produces vehicles that radically change how we move.
Collaborating across engineering, commercial, and brand departments - we define concepts and solutions that advance entire sectors.
Not content with beautiful sketches, our craft is in defining stunning vehicles that perform as well as they look. Each concept, design, and 3D render is viable for engineering, and we use limitations as opportunity to advance transport projects.

CMF Design
Not just the finishing touches, effective colour, materials and finishes design sets the personality of a vehicle. Our work takes cues from end users, and the wider transport environment to create functional and comfortable spaces that are desirable and suitable for a lifetime of use.
Our approach is defined by both the big picture and the smallest details, led by precision, clarity, and character, combining invention with attention to detail.
From aircraft seats, to full interiors; we set CMF strategies, workshop material choices, and design novel approaches to vehicle touch points. Whether working to aerospace certification standards, or throwing out the rulebook for private car commissions, our designs create spaces tailored to the people using them.

CGI & Visualisation
Building confidence with decision makers matters. Our CGI and visualisation services allow us to illustrate complex engineering, and final use cases alike. Without expensive photoshoots.
Working with real engineering data, we can produce photorealistic imagery to bring concepts to life. We use engineering data to create real scenarios tells the true story of products or vehicles earlier than any other means. Customer liveries and use cases can be illustrated in detail to assist sales and commercial teams.
Infinitely variable and instantly global.
Not only for marketing teams, these serve as valuable studies to quickly evaluate use cases, human interactions, and potential modifications.

Strategy & Innovation
We challenge conventions and bring multiple solutions to bear for early-stage projects.
By setting strategy early, we are able to produce innovative transport solutions, which work for every client. We define the strategy for the entire vehicle, providing whole teams with the direction to create exceptional transport solutions. From engineering to marketing, and brand we produce designs which bring together and solve the challenges from all parts of a business.
We collaborate with engineering teams, marketing, and leadership to ensure concepts are compelling, communicable, and investable.
Not bound by convention, we have experience creating completely novel vehicles and habitats in new and regulated industries. We bring this creativity to all projects to produce the best possible work.

Concepts & Innovation
OMI is at the forefront of vehicle and transport design. We bring our experience working across a host of automotive, aerospace, mobility, and space projects to push the boundaries of what is expected, whilst always grounding our vehicles in reality, and manufacturability.
Our industrial design work typically begins before specifications are fixed, helping teams define the vision, architecture, and experience that engineering and marketing can align around. By setting a clear direction early, programmes can run more efficiently, leading to world-class outcomes.
our expertise
Interior and Environment Design
Human factors define our work in producing spaces where passengers and users want to spend their time.
No matter the mode of transport, how people interact with a vehicle defines its success. Our team is expert in producing interiors which are intuitive, beautiful and fit for the wider engineering package.
Interfaces are how people remember vehicles. From controls to feedback, our work prioritises experience through human-centred design across apps, information displays and even into in-flight experiences. We don’t view mobility user experience (UX) as separate to a vehicle, but as a core element of it.

Rapid Prototyping & Show Models
Collaborating with our partners, we translate early designs or finished CAD into full-size models, engineering prototypes, and ergonomic bucks. A vital step in our process, physical tests serve as invaluable tools to validate human factors, and CMF choices, as well as being incredible show pieces and sales collateral.
We work with brand and marketing teams to consult on the best way to produce, or shoot content, and bring vehicles to life through videography and brand partnerships.

Work that defines the direction of next-generation mobility across air, ground, and space.
Hop
Four people in the footprint of a bicycle — shared mobility for city streets
A brand new form of mobility to address overcrowding on city streets. Within the same footprint as a bicycle, hop accommodates four people rather than one cyclist. A multi-person scooter platform, hop travels along set routes in city cycle lanes, allowing people to hop on at stops along the route.
