Welcome!
I am Daniel, thanks for stopping by at my website. Since my early childhood it has been my dream to become an automotive designer and this page is all about presenting my creations and emphasize my skills. I am making this dream come true step by step every day. Click here
to have a look at my portfolio.
How it all started
According to my parents I have been babbling auto parts after waking up to practice speaking at the age of just one year. Whatever influenced me back then to do so has accompanied me all these years and shaped me into the person I am today. Living near Frankfurt, Hesse, opened me the possibility to attend every IAA since 2007 and having family in the Munich area has led to me spending many hours at the BMW World every year. I use almost every free minute to draw cars or at least think about them. My worksheets in school were always decorated with sketches of all kinds of vehicles.
Logic and natural sciences
My two main subjects in the German Highschool finals were Arts and Mathematics. The fascination for logic has been in my life almost as long as my passion for cars. I completed a lot of puzzles beginning in my early youth working my way up to thousands of pieces. In the following I became a fan of natural sciences and mathematics. Throughout my school career I was often ahead of my entire class in these subjects, sometimes even higher classes, which taught my to be in a leading and supporting role. I graduated with distinction both in Mathematics and Physics and was invited to join the German Mathematician Association and German Physics Society.
Experience
My talents opened me many doors during my (school) career, e.g. being part of a student exchange program with an US Highschool or doing workshops for highly gifted students. Also traveling and meeting foreign colleagues from my fathers company got me in touch with many cultures and languages. As of today I am fluent in three languages, but on my way expanding that range!
Directly after my Highschool graduation I had the opportunity to do an internship as a model maker. During which I learned to make sketches and virtual models become reality. From early prototypes to specially manufactured tools to pre-production testing I got to work with all kinds of materials and a variety of machinery.
