A few months ago Volvo Cars has appointed Nicholas Gronenthal as its new Head of Design for our US studio in Camarillo.
Nick has a lot of experience in the automotive industry and used his talents in a lot of different companies, including 9 years as a designer for the BMW group, 2 years 1/2 at Faraday Future as a designer then as a creative manager and most recently was the Creative Director at Canoo in California.
Fun fact: his first car was a Volvo 240 DL! Therefore we couldn’t refuse taking him to the Volvo Museum and show him the mint collection of 240s that and the display in the exhibitions! We hope they reminded you of good memories!
"I have spent my 20 years in design across the spectrum, from big OEMs, where I realized the power of a brand, to smaller startups, where I learned the significance of an impactful team. I’m honored to join such an esteemed brand, where I can bring this experience. I have so much respect for not only how much Volvo cares about its products and design, but more so about people. Over the years and from the outside looking in, I have watched the impressive rise of Volvo to what it is today: a pillar of global design leadership. I am thrilled to lead the team in California and help advance the studio to new heights. Exciting times ahead!"
Welcome to We Design Volvo Nick!
