Wagoneer 2040

Wagoneer 2040 was done for my internship at Stellantis NA in Auburn Hills, MI. This proposal defines luxury as radical functionality. The vehicle is designed to offer a dual experience of off-road adventure and road trip comfort. Leveraging EV packaging innovation, the vehicle has two zones that cater to each main use case. The design mixes the classic Jeep design language with an advanced user experience. 

Process:

I started the project by researching the future of American recreation for the mid-21st century. I then developed a concept for the packaging with my exterior design partner. I took the 2D sketches into Gravity Sketch VR modeling. In successive rounds of sketching over concept models, I received feedback from the Stellantis Advanced Design team and Jeep Interior team to hone the project to the final result. I developed the interior deliverables while my partner developed the exterior design.
