	Description:		FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE CONTEXT ON MY GUESTS: https://www.instagram.com/crownunfiltered/ VIDEO VERSION OF THIS: https://youtu.be/DNXgiA3S5TQ ABOUT JULIAN: Julian Thomson is a British Car Designer that graduated at the top of his class from the prestigious Royal College of Art in 1984. From there he went on to pay his dues at Ford and Lotus where he eventually became the head of Design. After a short stint at Volkswagen’s Advanced Design studio at Sitges, he decided that he had a longing to return to English soil and work with friends. After the unfortunate death of Geoff Lawson (then head of Jaguar), Ian Callum was appointed as the new Design Director and he asked Julian to join the iconic British marque as the Head of Advanced Design. The two of them proved to be a perfect combination that would reshape the brand into what it has become today. At a pretty young age, Julian designed multiple cars that went on to achieve iconic status, including the Lotus Esprit X180, ISUZU 4200, and the legendary Lotus Elise S1. Not everyone is cut out for leadership and many should not be leaders, but after a seemingly effortless success as a designer, Julian had a natural transition into that world. It is because he cares deeply about the people that he works with. I have, personally, had the honour to witness what a great leader he is and anyone that has worked with him will tell you the same. Julian's pedigree as a Designer and a Design Leader is unquestionable. He is a brilliant mind and brilliant man with more brilliant things to come!

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!
