I was very fortunate during the past months to work on the Audi e-bike for this year’s Wörthersee show. I was one of 2 designers and many great engineers who helped pull off a working bike that can handle some real stunt work. Working as a team was key to this project running smoothly as we were working within a very tight timeframe. For all of you currently attending Umea, or thinking of applying, make the most of your time there by working with your classmates. Building great working relationships is just as important as your sketching and rendering abilities. Enjoy!

Internship at Mia Electric. ROX concept
By alexandraciobanu Apr 18, 2012
Hi guys and girls! Probably you’ve found out that I have had the great honour of being an intern at Mia Electric and working on the Rox concept interior together with David Wilkie and Murat Gunak. I’ve been helping with the seat and bench concept, with the colour and trim and the exterior embroidery graphics. Also I have been involved in creating different soft top graphics, that are part of the customised personalisation of the close to production vehicle. Read out all in the description on the poster.
Looking forward to see you all in the fall!
Best, Alex
A full class room of twenty 24″ Cintiqs… another reason why UID is kicking… time to render some Volkswagen cars…
Very briefly about our trip to Geneva. Will not add pictures of cars, because you guys reading this has probably already seen everything.
The class, TD1, arriving late in Zürich because of problems with some kind of hatch for the luggage…(Erik, Matt, Ignacio, Kallol, Mitsu, Sebastian and Armand)
Free food and drinks were very welcome.
We were not the only designers at the show.
While being in Geneva we also visited worlds most expensive machine ever build, CERN.
Last week we had a 3 day workshop with Daniel Forsgren learning Maya modeling.
Below is the result of the 3 day workshop.
