ABOUT DON
I’m a creative senior designer and artist specializing in transportation design with a focus on interior design. I blend storytelling with functional problem-solving, shaping concepts that feel both imaginative and grounded in purpose. My work moves fluidly from sketch to 3D realization, guided by a deep passion for innovation, culture, and the evolving role of technology in design. I create with intention, crafting spaces and experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Growth
I’m driven by curiosity and discipline. I'm always learning, always refining. I push myself to grow through every sketch, model, and idea, exploring new tools and workflows that expand what’s possible. My philosophy is that there is always room for improvement. From traditional design craft to AI-assisted pipelines like ComfyUI, I’m constantly evolving my process to create with more clarity, intention, and imagination.
EXPERTISE
specializing in transforming ideas into refined automotive experiences. Moving fluidly from quick ideation sketches to fully realized 3D models. My work blends design strategy, storytelling, and art direction to craft vehicles with purpose and emotion. With a deep understanding of emerging tools, from traditional modeling and viz pipelines to advanced AI workflows, I bring speed, clarity, and innovation to every phase of the process.
01.Ideation & Creative Exploration
I approach ideation as a space of curiosity and intention. Where loose sketches, abstract thoughts, and unexpected influences collide to spark something new. My process is fluid yet purposeful, moving from raw exploration to clear design direction. I thrive in that early phase of discovery, transforming fragments of ideas into meaningful concepts that set the foundation for compelling, human-centered automotive experiences.
02.Sketch to 3D
I love taking an idea from a quick sketch and turning it into something real you can experience in 3D. Whether it’s figuring out form, surfaces, or the feeling of a space, I enjoy building designs that move from imagination to something you can walk around, refine, and bring to life. This back and forth between sketch and 3D helps with solving the design which I then start visualizing to tell a story.
03.Design Strategy & Art Direction
I approach every project with intention. I love shaping ideas into clear stories. Aligning form, function, and emotion so the design feels purposeful. Whether I'm defining the vision, guiding the aesthetic, or setting the tone, I focus on creating work that feels cohesive, modern, and human.
