This week I met with Saurabh, a visionary Automotive Designer based in the UK. Saurabh has worked as an automotive designer for a number of years, working with well-known companies such as McLaren, Jaguar, Lamborgini, VW, Ford and more recently the electric vehicle company ZEEKR. Saurabh prides himself on following a key design process and has followed his passion for cars to where he is today.

On the podcast, we discuss Saurabh's career, where he tells the story of how he found himself in this career. We also discuss how the visual styling of vehicles has changed, discussing the contributors to its current form. We also mention sustainability and durability in modern cars, and how it compares to vehicles of the past. Finally, we discuss Saurabh Automotive's design mentorship program, where he guides students through advice and support, helping them reach their dreams.
