InSPIRATIonS
“Dreams and Dedication are a Powerful Combination” - William Longgood
I adore working around the emotional aspect as well as radical and minimal side of design. Detailed, immaculate and complete work is what I always look for. Be it contemporary or radical, I always enjoy working around the four wheels.

SUMMARY
Here I have put together a collection of my work done so far during my Masters Program and during other free time / workshop. Mainly focused on four wheeler design. I have covered areas such as public, motorsport, family and personal transport. Here you can see the design process from research to physical modeling in major projects as well as few quick and personal projects done independently.

INSPIRATIONPracticality and reliability are two key aspects driving the public transport, cute friendly taxi shows greater bonding with users
REFINING CUES
DIRECTIONAL SKETCHES
Features from the sketches narrowed down into more credible surface behaviors and transitions
Sketch refinement to push onto more production oriented exterior aesthetics
CONCEPT ONEVisibility and plenty of day light is the USP here with a hint of plastic claddings for electric nature, most people found it resembling bus with its downward flowing windshield
CONCEPT TwOThis one goes bit jazzy with side glass receiving forward movement adding kinetics and sportiness to the overall aesthetics
This one is more balanced in terms of achieving cuteness, reliableness and characters alike while still carrying the taxi appeal
CONCEPT THREE

STYLING INSPIRATION
RACER INSIDE ME!Jaison, a guy in his early 30s, takes pride in calling himself a struggler, a survivor. Raised in the streets with parentless childhood. He is been Loner ever since, focused and serious about his life to stand tall at whatever life throws at him. Dedication is second nature to him while freedom lies in his soul.
Machines with Racing DnA in their souls are his kith and kins. This time around, he is looking for another mean machine to add to his garage. The Machine that Reflects his true identity of a freedom lover, one with the Wings of Freedom!
Feathers form the wing in nature. Being light with hidden strength is what make them inspire this concept
A driver centric track day supercar to go flat out and unleash the racer inside you
