Jonathan Stoker — Head of Design

My experience includes Design/Research, Automotive Production (Trim), Automotive Project Management and Graphic Design/Artworker roles. My skill set includes creative research/development, sketching/rendering (2D/Photoshop), CAD modelling and 3D Visualisation (Alias/VRED). In my most recent position as a Designer for the Mulliner Department at Bentley Motors, I was responsible for the design, development and visualisation for personalised client vehicles, special commissions and regional/limited editions. During my time at the Intelligent Mobility Design Centre (IMDC associated with the Royal College of Art) I was one of a group of designers that were given a design brief for the Hyundai/Kia group as part of a wider body of research, exploring the future meaning of Luxury and the outcome to our research was a piece of artwork that explains our futuristic vision. I also have experience in Automotive Production within the Interior Trim department at Bentley Motors, this included leather inspection and operation of cutting beds for leather trim interior parts. As part of my position as Project Coordinator at Futura Design, I gained extensive experience in organising and planning complex projects including Ergonomic and Aerodynamic properties for clients such as Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan. My aspiration is to forge a career within Vehicle Design, to contribute to projects, to be part of the move forward in innovation and the shape of our future.
