Automotive Design

Overview /

I was the lead 3D modeler of Model Y overhead systems and Model S cabin trim. I worked with designers, engineerings, and program managers where I was able to balance both design intent and engineering specifications in this role. I gained invaluable insight into the physical design and UX design process.

The Process /

User considerations when designing the cabin:

A-pillar sight lines and connection to the exterior
Sun visor and front header relationship to the occupant
Rear header impact zone to the occupant and draft angle limitations
C-pillar seat belt retractor position

The goal is to create an impeccable and completely unique design experience while maintaining comfort.
