GRANT HOLDER 2006
What has the grant meant for you and your career?
The scholarship became a springboard for an international education and career as a car designer. I did my MA in Vehicle Design at the Royal College of Art in London and then worked at the Kia Design Center in Germany and at Land Rover Design in England.
What are you up to today?
Right now I am working as Chief Exterior Designer for the new Swedish-Chinese car brand Lynk & Co, which is based in Gothenburg.
What are your two cents about design, today and tomorrow?
I believe that the classic car companies risk becoming suppliers of hardware to new, more innovative and service-based companies with a focus on mobility. The role of car designer will thus be changed, so it will be very exciting to see what happens next
