What it’s like to be a transportation designer at Ferrari? IED alumnus Alvaro Ramos tells us all about it

The IED Barcelona Alumnus graduated in Transportation Design. When he finished his thesis, he did an internship at Seat in Exterior Design but after some years he found an opportunity to move to Italy to work. He's currently working as a designer at Ferrari.

“The role of the designer today is to interpret all the situations we have around; legislation, pollution, sustainability; being up to date with the new technologies; understand what is going on, how are people moving;  in order to create a product for your target audience”, explains the designer.
