Hi, my name is Brian Kannappan and I'm an aspiring young car designer.  Growing up in Palo Alto, the heart of Silicon Valley, I've had the privilege of being exposed to the forefront of tech and design innovation.  As a kid I originally wanted to become an inventor.  I became inspired by products that focused on solving problems for their customers.  This interest is embodied in my design process, as I focus on design that tells a story. Every great story has conflict and resolution, so when I approach my designs, I aim to first identify the problem or customer need, and then I direct my focus towards finding that solution in the design.
