Child-like Design Aspirations

Here is a collection of sketches I've done for my nieces and nephews. These are a great way to break out and have fun with color, proportion, and general character!

I have officially graduated and am now working for Volvo Trucks North America!

Thanks for everyone who followed my blog as I went through school. I will continue to update it as I do personal projects/ random sketches.

Audi A8: 1/5 Scale Clay Model

Audi A8: Highlights

A preview image of the 1/5 scale model, featuring the A-pillar to Cowl and front-fender haunch highlights

Audi A8 Sketch Renderings

Audi A8 Function

A low front hood (and subsequent reduced drag and sportier stance) is achieved by reducing the engine size to a V6 and increasing the horsepower via twin-turbochargers that inlet through the headlamps.

Auto Union 2020

A quick redesign, predicting a future Auto Union racer.

Audi A8- Exterior Design

A set of fresh ideation sketches from the A8 project, still in progress

Audi A8

Rear 3/4 view sketch-renderings. These are two of many more to come, looking to find the best surfacing and design theme within the chosen proportion. Front ends to come...

Audi A8

A few interior sketches exploring design themes.

Now starts the ideation sketch phase of my next project: 2017 Audi A8.

Exterior Renders

A big jump from the sketches but here is the final developed alias model renderings. Renault was an obvious choice for the F1 and Rally racing heritage as well as their "liquid" surfacing.

Exterior Development

Further design development ideas

Design Development

A few sketches of the roadster (aka: interior-out design project) design development

Bio Mechanical Interface

An adaptive seating exploration that utilizes micro-robotic actuators to conform the seat shape to the driver as well as "react" during an accident to reduce the inertial forces on the driver/passenger.

Bio-Mechanical Interface

This series of sketches explores combining the benefits of a highly-customizable, holographic interface with the solid, mechanical, feedback of a classic button.

Sketch Renderings: Interior/Exterior

Here are a couple of sketches exploring the connection of the interior and exterior of a single-seat, open-top, roadster. This concept is being continually developed and is intended to explore new levels of human-machine interface without being bound solely by today's technology.

Sketch Rendering: Bugatti type 50

Took a quick break from sketching interiors to sketch one of my favorite classics.
