In summary: If we're not turning heads, we're doing something wrong.
Established in mid-2020, Rienks Motor Design is carving out a distinct niche in a world saturated with shared, replicated, and modified ideas.

Let's meet over coffee to discuss ideas, evaluate your project, or collaborate on something awesome. We are always looking for new talent and partnerships.
Nothing is impossible when the right minds come together.
SHANE RIENKS
Before founding Rienks Motor Design, Shane Rienks had the privilege of learning from remarkable individuals and companies around the nation – true masters in their respective fields. These experiences allowed him to delve into the practical intricacies of high-end custom cars, coach building (hand-built cars), and the lucrative carbon fiber industry.
Shane's foundation lies primarily in conceptual design and design thinking, but also encompasses sheet metal shaping and fabrication, carbon fiber production, toolmaking, interior upholstery, custom electronics, and mechanics. Now at 25 years old, he has over 7 years of professional experience working exclusively on elite 6-, 7-, and 8-figure figure automotive projects.
Built upon this foundation, Shane is devoted to pursuing advanced design across a multitude of industries. His formal education includes an ongoing degree in Industrial Design, and a completed degree in Automotive Technology. However, his most valuable learning experience began in his teens, with an apprenticeship at a small hot rod shop in Georgia, leading to a later position at a highly-ambitious and talented shop in Indiana, before founding RMD in mid-2020.
This background instilled in him the core belief that diverse hands-on experience is one of the most crucial qualities a creator can possess. When combined with formal knowledge and education, it can be an unstoppable force.
