About
I have specialized in transportation design for the past 16 years. My main activities have been project lead and management, concept proposals and its development to a prototype stage. As a manager my role is to scout for specific professionals and put them together in work teams, as well as client and suppliers follow up. When working in a team, I become a senior designer filling in the gaps to complete a design proposal.
