About
Built by engineers who've seen what goes wrong and know how to get it right.
Former Dyson engineers and product leaders, working as one team to de-risk product development for ambitious brands.
Why Enki Exists
Enki exists to combine bold innovation with disciplined execution, so ambitious brands can move forward with confidence, not guesswork.
That is where we add value.
Product development is complex. Decisions carry weight. Small misjudgements can become expensive very quickly, especially when design, engineering, and manufacturing are not aligned from the beginning. We exist to make sure they are.
We start by understanding your ambition, your product, your market, and your commercial goals. From there, we work alongside you as partners, helping you think through trade-offs, challenging assumptions when needed, and providing clear direction when momentum matters most.
Many of the brands we support know product is central to their growth, but they don't always have the internal depth to execute with total confidence. That is where we add value.
The Enki Vision
“To make world-class product leadership available to ambitious consumer brands.”
Ben Jones is a British 1st Class Hons Product Designer and Chartered Mechanical Engineer, Entrepreneur and Founder of Enki Product Development. He established the company in 2024 as a platform to deliver strategically driven, end-to-end product development for ambitious consumer brands. Leading a growing team of around 12 specialists, he remains closely involved in the creative and technical direction of the studio, ensuring each project balances innovation, commercial viability, and scalable manufacturing.
Our Team
Our team is made up of former Dyson engineers with over 100 years of combined Dyson experience between them. 90% joined us from Dyson within the last two years, bringing recent, hands-on knowledge of how category-defining products are made. They've led product categories, developed entire ranges and delivered complex consumer products at scale. That experience shapes how we work, and we bring the same clarity and structure to every project we take on.
We don't just design products. We structure them, de-risk them, and build them to succeed in the real world.
