Hello there,

I´m Kai Rump.

An independent industrial designer and sketching artist based in Austria, specializing in product design, design sketching, and visual storytelling.

I help individuals and companies turn innovative ideas into tangible products through thoughtful concept development, high-quality 3D visualizations, and clear, strategic design thinking.

I earned my bachelor degree in industrial design with honors at the University of Wuppertal, gained experience in the design department at Sonos Inc. in California. The years before I became independent I was responsible for developing products from the first sketch to mass production at the design consultancy  Studio F. A. Porsche in Austria. These experiences sharpened my eye for aesthetic form, technical function, and brand-aligned product design.

Today, I work as a freelance product designer and design consultant, supporting startups and established brands in creating powerful product solutions and compelling visual narratives. My services include industrial design consulting, sketch-based concept generation, and CGI product visualization.

In parallel, I run a growing social media presence where I share my passion for design sketching and inspire a global audience of design students, creatives, and visual thinkers.

In addition to design consulting, I create high-quality art prints based on my original industrial design sketches. Available through my Etsy shop and printed on demand, each piece is shipped worldwide bringing design storytelling into homes and creative workspaces around the globe.

Whether you’re looking to collaborate on product design, explore new visual directions, or just want to get inspired by the creative process – I’d love to connect.
