ABOUT DAN:

Dan is a Senior Exterior Designer at Genesis in California.

 

An Art Center graduate, Dan spent his formative years at Nissan/Infiniti where they let him express himself in the way he does best.

 

Unbeknownst to me, Dan was the lead designer in the Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept, which I absolutely love. If I am honest, it's the first car of theirs, bar the Gran Turismo Vision GT, that I could appreciate.

 

It became clear within minutes of talking to Dan, that he is not your average Car Designer, whatever that may be.

 

He draws inspiration from places that most deem too abstract. Places like 'smell', for example.

 

The tangents in this chat were so far that I thought we would never make it back, but somehow Dan managed to land it back every time.

 

I can't really say much else, except that my mind is warped!

====================================================

 

ABOUT ME:

I am a South African Designer, Digital Modeller and the host of Crown Unfiltered. I will be talking to a cross section of people that work in the Car Design Industry.

These will include designers, digital and clay modellers, vis artists and colour & material designers. The focus of our conversations will be centered around personal processes and experiences within the business. My aim is to demystify some of the preconceptions about this industry and give people an unadulterated glimpse into the business.

I also wish to give the younger generation the opportunity to see that the people that these professionals come in different shapes and sizes and some of them will be unknown. The intention is to see that you should always be yourself and not let your job define or change who you are.

Please get in contact if there is something specific you would like me to cover. I would also be really grateful if you could subscribe and share the podcast with anyone that has an affinity for cars, design or both. Thank you! Sam
