Hi! I'm Arya
As an automotive exterior designer, my inspiration stems from integrating various user lifestyles into automotive design to craft meaningful mobility solutions for the future, grounded in emotions and experiences.
Automotive design has been a constant in my life since childhood, starting with car drawings at the age of 3 that I still keep today. As I grew, so did my passion, solidifying my decision to become a car designer during middle school—a dream I continue to pursue.
My master's education at ArtCenter and an Exterior Design internship have equipped me not only for demanding exterior design tasks but also for focusing on UX and Strategy aspects. Over the years, I've honed skills such as sketching, 2D rendering, 3D visualization, storytelling, storyboarding, brand identity, future-casting, persona creation, UX journey mapping, and primary research.

My Story
Ever since I was 3 years old, I used to draw cars. This life-long hobby soon turned into a passion which I am enthusiastically pursuing as a career today. I received a Bachelor in Industrial Design (BDes) from the University of Washington and a Masters in Transportation Design (MS) from the ArtCenter College of Design.
DESIGN
I specialize in Exterior Design, Interior Design and UX Strategy. In my design works, I get inspired from diverse life-styles and try to develop futuristic concepts that stay true to the user aspirations.
My experience also extends in luxury electronics, having worked with companies such as Bang & Olufsen and Valeur Designers in Denmark. Following my transition to Transportation Design, I interned as an Exterior Designer at PACCAR's Kenworth division.
BESIDES DESIGN
In my free time, I enjoy traveling around the world, discovering art, socializing with friends & family, restoring, driving vintage cars and discovering new restaurants/cafes.
