Ran Jiang

Ran Jiang is an interdisciplinary designer working across product design, speculative design, service integration, innovative CMF and digital material innovation. She graduated in 2022 from the Innovation Design Engineering programme at the Royal College of Art, and works with systematic thinking and interactive experience to bridge the digital and physical worlds.

Her RCA project AMEBA is a print design platform for self-forming elastic fabric: by combining 3D printing with the elastic properties of textiles, it converts a two-dimensional printed texture into a predicted three-dimensional shape, making an otherwise unpredictable process controllable. Jiang frames the work as a way to rethink additive manufacturing and to open new possibilities in garment construction, soft furnishing and architectural surfaces.
