Gabriel Zonta

About

Gabriel Zonta | Brazilian/Italian | 30 years old I'm an automotive designer with 10 years of experience in both conceptual and production projects for the automotive industry, having worked with brands such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, and Renault. I am currently a Senior Designer at Renault Brazil. A creative and determined professional, I am driven by the challenge of turning ideas into reality, using 2D and 3D tools to develop innovative solutions. Restless and passionate about exploring new approaches, I constantly seek to create unique and diverse design outcomes. My inspiration is strongly influenced by Italian art and design and brutalist architecture, while rock music serves as the soundtrack that shapes and drives my concepts and creations.
