ABOUT MARCELLO:
Marcello is a motorcycle designer at KISKA and might be one of the coolest Italian dudes I have met.
He shared a beautiful childhood story about a local bike track that his parents took him to as a young boy. It was a hot summer's day in the scorching Italian sun and 2 young guys came into focus as they pierced through a mirage on a pair of vintage bikes.
The young Basilio became intoxicated with the noise, smell, speed, and, of course, the sculpture, and nearly 2 decades later, he would be designing these beautiful machines.
Landing the job at KISKA was a dream come true, but the Italian quickly pointed out that getting his dream job was not without its setbacks.
He went through the application/rejection cycle multiple times over the course of a couple of years and was also let go early from an internship that really knocked his confidence.
Marcello decided to return to education in order to brush up on his skills and enrolled at SPD Milano where the mighty Michele Leonello put him through his paces.
Upon graduation, he landed a job at Benelli as a junior designer where he gained invaluable experience. It was also here, in Pesaro, where he met his future wife, and this gave him confidence in the universe again.
Marcello still had a burning desire, though, to get to Salzburg and after a series of attempts, the doors at KISKA were eventually pried open.
A powerful story that can be summed up in one word...resilience.

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
