What is the best advice you have ever received? Fortune favors the brave. What advice would you give to a person considering a career in the auto industry? Be prepared for the so-called "long game" because it takes time to bring a project from concept to production. Therefore, it is important to take time to celebrate the achievements made along the way to delivering the end product. What job do you really want to have in the future? I would always want to stay in a creative field working with multi-discipline teams. Working in other analogous design industries such as consumer electronics, furniture, architecture or fashion would be very interesting. Most of the skills that an automotive designer has are transferable to other design disciplines. This is particularly true with color and material design. What do you do to relax? Read, travel, cook and watch Netflix. These are not done in that particular order and some can be done simultaneously. What is your pet peeve? Holding onto the past and actively pushing against change rather than looking forward to the future. What was your first car? A 1989 Honda Civic. Current car? A Range Rover Velar R Dynamic with premium textile interior. If you were a car, which one would you be? I am not a car - I am a Vespa! 2019 11
