ABOUT JORDAN:
We have an absolute legend on the show this week and if he’s slipped through your radar, it’s because he's too busy executing in the shadows and not putting any energy into self-promotion, like the rest of us on IG!
Jordan was a key member of the design team that did the 2015 Ford Mustang. Prior to this, he was a Design Manager at Mazda in California during an insane period in the mid to late 2000’s where the brand was producing by far the coolest concepts in the industry. These included the Furai, Taiki, and Nagare. Jordan’s team produced the latter.
Prior to this, Jordan was a team leader at VW’s Advanced Design Center in Potsdam. This was in the studio’s legendary heyday where you would find people like Daniel Simon, Christian Felske, Achim Anscheidt, and, for a brief period, Anders Warming, walking the halls.
As a designer, Jordan was one of the pioneers in developing complete volumes in Alias. It has become commonplace now, but it certainly was not standard practice then. To the best of my knowledge, there were only a couple of people in the world doing this at the time and he had a profound influence on many designers.
Jordan’s thinking is incredibly unique and there are many reasons for this, including his origins at the Rhode Island School of Design. He also did a brief stint at CCS and eventually went on to do the Vehicle Design program at the Royal College of Art.
Last, but not least, Jordan is a faculty member of the prestigious Art Center in California and has also published a book titled: ‘Vehicle Design: Aesthetic Principles in Transportation Design’, which can be found on Amazon (This is not a paid partnership, promise!!! 😅).
Brilliant chat with a brilliant designer!

ABOUT ME:
I am a South African Designer, Digital Modeller and the host of Crown Unfiltered. I will be talking to a cross section of people that work in the Car Design Industry.
These will include designers, digital and clay modellers, vis artists and colour & material designers. The focus of our conversations will be centered around personal processes and experiences within the business. My aim is to demystify some of the preconceptions about this industry and give people an unadulterated glimpse into the business.
I also wish to give the younger generation the opportunity to see that the people that these professionals come in different shapes and sizes and some of them will be unknown. The intention is to see that you should always be yourself and not let your job define or change who you are.
Please get in contact if there is something specific you would like me to cover. I would also be really grateful if you could subscribe and share the podcast with anyone that has an affinity for cars, design or both. Thank you! Sam
