Art Center Transportation Design

Personal Statement

Having earned a previous degree in industrial design from Auburn University, I have a unique perspective on automotive design.  Most of what product design contends with is solving user’s needs in a fresh way via extensive research and development concluded by a design phase based on the findings.  Automotive design adds components to this by throwing in human emotion, developing lasting and beautiful form, and an insatiable passion for one thing: the automobile.

The challenge of design is something I relish, no matter the subject; problem solving, nailing proportion, stance, and volume, creating compelling stories, etc.  The passion I had when I was 6 years old staring at the latest concept car remains the same, now fueled and aided by all of the experience and learning until now.
