Disciplines
Exterior Design
Sculpting the visual identity of vehicles through aerodynamic surfaces, character lines, and proportion studies. Every curve tells a story of speed, elegance, and purpose.
Interior Design
Crafting immersive driver and passenger experiences through ergonomic layouts, premium material selection, and intuitive interface design that blends luxury with functionality.
Transportation Systems
Envisioning the future of urban mobility through autonomous vehicle concepts, public transit systems, and sustainable transportation infrastructure that reshapes how cities move.
Modification Design
Transforming production vehicles into bespoke performance machines through aerodynamic body kits, custom interiors, and precision-engineered modifications that push boundaries.
Visualization
Bringing automotive concepts to life through photorealistic CGI renders, cinematic animations, and immersive virtual studio setups. From studio lighting rigs to dynamic turntable sequences — every pixel crafted to sell the vision.
3D Modelling
Translating design intent into precise digital surfaces using Class-A surfacing techniques. From initial polygon meshes to production-ready NURBS models — bridging the gap between creative vision and engineering reality.
Tao Wen
With over eight years of experience in automotive design, I bring a multidisciplinary approach that bridges the gap between artistic vision and engineering reality.
My journey began in traditional clay modeling studios and evolved through digital sculpting, VR prototyping, and parametric design. I've contributed to concept vehicles for leading manufacturers and independent design houses, always pushing the boundaries of what's possible in automotive form.
I believe that great car design is not just about aesthetics — it's about creating an emotional connection between machine and human. Every line, every surface, every proportion must serve both function and feeling.
