About

I’m Yelaman Bolyskhanuly (byelaman), a concept and industrial designer. I work with hardware: electric vehicles, devices and home appliances.

I start with concepts: what the product could be and how it should feel. Then I take the strongest idea to a clear form and a 3D model, then show it the way it will be seen at launch: studio renders, context shots and short product films. Teams use this to pitch, raise money, test with users and brief engineers.

My own work includes the Aperture family of personal electric vehicles, the HERON coffee machine and an electric commercial van. I take on freelance projects and full-time roles, remote or with relocation.
