ABOUT TONY:
Tony is a Creative Design Manager at Genesis America and has also worked at Lucid as well as the VW/Audi studio in Santa Monica.
He has not had an easy ride to get to where he currently is. His parents took the family on a 'holiday' to LA from Taiwan when he was 7. After a failed business venture in America, his father returned to Taiwan, leaving his mother to raise him and his siblings on her own in Los Angeles.
Tony shoe-horned his way into a graphic design job after high school without any training and spent all his wages on night school at Art Center. His mother re-mortgaged the family home to raise funds for him to study Art Center, only for him to fail the entrance exam. It would take 2 more attempts before everything fell into place.
Tony's credibility as a designer is unquestionable, but his emotional intelligence and character are something that makes him truly special. He is a great human being and anyone that has worked with him will attest to this.
This is his story.
Enjoy!

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
