About
I am an Alias designer with 10 years experience in the Automotive industry. Currently living in California and working as a contract modeler on live project from concept development through to production data sign off.
I studied Automotive Design Styling at Coventry University for which I obtained a First Class BA (honours) and received a Bugatti Trust award for excellence in engineering for my final year project ' Combine 2030'
I am very interested in future technologies and how they can be applied to augment the transport world.
Having grown up in mainland Europe and subsequently moving to the UK I have a keen interest in modern History and how it has shaped our world today. -
