Volkswagen 2020-2025

I began my experience at Volkswagen in 2020, a period that represented a great opportunity for professional growth. During the first years, I had the opportunity to support several teams in the realization of significant projects, including the Tiguan, the reskin of the ID.4 and other models intended for the Chinese market. This involvement on multiple fronts has allowed me to develop transversal skills and a broader vision of the design process.

Among my main projects stands out the new T-Roc, which will soon be available in the European and Chinese markets. In this context, I had the responsibility of managing a team, with the aim of transmitting specific knowledge to them and supporting them in their professional growth. Furthermore, I led two projects that were not intended for production, but which played a key role in providing inspiration and input for other initiatives, particularly in the context of the ID Code project for which I created the first proportion model. Even in these situations, my attention was focused on team development, promoting skills and motivation to face new challenges.

This experience has allowed me to face complex challenges, collaborate with high-level professionals and contribute to the success of innovative products in the automotive sector.

T-Roc (2025)

Between 2021 and 2023 I undertook my commitment to the project of the future Volkswagen T-Roc, a fundamental initiative in the context of the brand's SUV lineup. As project leader, I had the responsibility of coordinating a team of professionals who supported me at every stage of the project, an opportunity that allowed me to develop and refine both my technical and resource management skills. Team management was a crucial component, as it required problem-solving skills, effective communication and the ability to keep the group's motivation high throughout the process.

My involvement started from the sketch modeling phase, in which I worked closely with the designers to translate the first ideas into visual concepts, going through continuous iteration and refinement of the initial proposals. As the project evolved, I carefully followed the transition to more advanced stages, resolving the technical aspects. Finally, I came to support the strak department for the class A phase.

This path allowed me to acquire a deep understanding of the life cycle of an automotive project, from the initial conception to the creation of the final product, and represented an important opportunity for professional growth, strengthening my ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and manage complex projects with attention to detail and deadlines.
