Extending The Mobility Experience.

For nearly 20 years I have nurtured my personal interest in motorcycle riding, racing and building. I am passionate about the world of zero emissions and what it can bring to our experience in both function and fun.

This passion has led me to professional service for carbon free transportation. From environmentally friendly Formula One race suits to sustainable apparel for the everyday commuter, I can provide designs fitting for a Zero-E Life.

I want to help extend the mobility experience by creating things on, in or around what we ride, drive or move in; things that make mobility functional, safe, entertaining, educational and fun.

 

The 360 Degree Mobility Experience

The best experiences are complete; ones with elements that work in harmony with one another. Such was the case with the BMW CSL Hommage race suit which was designed to create a closer connection between driver and car. Inspired by the design intent of the car, the innovative package included suit, gloves, footwear and helmet.

  • The BMW CSL Hommage Concept Car was designed to offer the best possible fusion of driver and car.

  • The vision I shaped for the CSL Hommage drivers gear included suit, gloves and footwear.

  • Early sketch of the CSL suit shows dynamic panels that conform to the drivers position.

  • This early sketch of the CSL shoe shows quilted patterning found in the seat of the car.

  • The drivers suit augmented the physical connection of the driver to the car with its seamless functionality and design.

  • In the suit, 3D knit panels eliminated pressure points in the torso and fiber optic cables highlighted the connection of driver and car.

  • The footwear used the innovative disc system allowing fit to be fine-tuned.

  • The CSL shoe with its simple, modern and functional design fit closely to the aesthetic of the car.

  • The CSL helmet features an in-helmet display providing direct-to-driver data.

  • Doing research for the CSL program at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben.
