I've worked on several vehicles. But, out of those designs of different cars and trucks, I've shortlisted on four. The Lexus LF-LC being one of those shortlisted concept cars I worked on with a team of other designers, and the one I'm most proud of. http://youtu.be/QxhYPtzU0gA

I'm not sure about product designers, but with auto, the numbers are relatively small when compared to other professions. The numbers are somewhat small, but there are quite a few black auto designers in high positions.

Nope. We weren't on the same line, but we pledged the same year. He pledged and crossed at Meharry (Kappa Chapter). He crossed two months before I did, and then he came down with one of his Sands and they saw me while my line was still pledging. It was a very interesting experience LOL.

What do you mean by shortlisted?

It's a shortlist of sketches. I'm not sure how it works at other auto companies tech centers, but where I work, once the design team has decided upon its favorite sketches, more sketches are then created from that particular shortlist of possible designs. Designers that haven't had their designs chosen are redeployed on the shortlisted designs and then those designers help generate more sketches showing different exterior and interior viewpoints or details of the vehicle currently being designed.

At this point there is often a further review by management. But this also depends on how many designs were being worked on in the first shortlist. It also depends on the manager. As a design manager, with my design team, depending on how much time I have, I usually decide to shortlist further or sometimes I might decide to generate CAD models using Alias.
