Vincent Pearce is a product designer specializing in sustainable electronics and circular design. Currently completing his MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, he combines mechanical engineering expertise with an insatiable curiosity about materials, always building time into his design process for the experimentation that leads to breakthrough solutions.

His work tackles a problem that drives him: products built for landfills, not for people. Vincent creates designs that prioritize both human needs and planet needs, from modular electronics that actually want to be repaired to kinetic lighting systems crafted from unconventional materials. His Ona lighting project exemplifies this approach, transforming treated seaweed and wood into an interactive experience through careful material experimentation and engineering precision.

Vincent's work has earned recognition in international competitions, including first place in L'Oréal Brandstorm for a men's beauty concept challenging cultural barriers, and second place in the RCA Grand Challenge for urban resilience design. At Ford, he developed strong cross-functional collaboration skills working with engineering and human factors teams on interior automotive systems.

He is currently deepening his understanding of circular systems through weekly volunteering at repair cafés, while spending most of his time in RCA's studios CAD modeling and prototyping products built to last. Outside the studio, Vincent can be found hiking, climbing, and practicing martial arts—activities that constantly remind him what it means to depend on something that absolutely has to work.
