My mission is to bring world class automotive design to life.

As senior sculptor at GM in Detroit I brought to life just to name a few the Volt, the Camaro and a long family of Cadillac interiors. At the same time I served my alma mater the College for Creative Studies. For more than a decade I showed students how to digitally craft automotive design. Both experiences have prepared me for the next step in my career at Tata Motors Technical European Centre (TMETC) in the UK.

As the digital modelling manager, I assembled a team for the long term. I build from scratch a team of permanent employees. It is complemented by a great group of contractors who have been there since I started.

My philosophy is a 3 prong attack on all the digital content I oversee:

1. Surfacing: for advanced design I introduced and rolled out polygonal modelling. In production class A with Alias the cars my team modelled are coming on the road now in India.
2. Animation / Rendering: I hired our first intern in animation coming this summer.
3. R&D: we investigate the latest technologies in 3D visualization (headsets, VR cave)

Teamwork. Excellence. R&D. At TMETC, we are at the tip of the spear for Tata Motors Design. Read Less
