In My Own Words
With an extensive background in the motor and action sports industries, I've had the privilege of holding a senior position within a Fortune 500 company as the Senior Vehicles Graphics Designer at Polaris-Indian Motorcycles.
Since 2007, I've been at the helm of www.SpeedMachinesDesign.com, catering to esteemed clients like Aspar team in MotoGP (GP, 2 and 3 team), Triumph UK, Polaris-Indian Motorcycles, Roland Sands Design, Ford Mustang Jackets, Alpinestars, Walt Siegl Motorcycles, Bike Exif, and more.
In addition, I've ventured into the dynamic world of moto-auto-fashion with my innovative brand, www.Pagnol-Motor.com , which became a key understated and leading moto gear brand in the new wave cafe racer scene, which also gave me a further business and marketing understanding as an "owner" of a brand.
My expertise ranges from setting trends and foreseeing market shifts to crafting intricate design stories and overseeing their seamless execution. I've also recognized the often-underestimated yet pivotal connection between design and marketing – a perspective that not only grasps contemporary marketing avenues but also pioneers new ones.
As a brand owner myself with Pagnol, I possess a unique blend of skills and perspective, making me an unparalleled asset to my clients.
