I'm 'bout to marry a car designer. It's quite an interesting profession, and one I knew relatively little about until recently. One thing that I find fascinating is how few there are in the world. There are perhaps 1000 exterior designers (working for the major auto companies) globally, and it's a very communal group; everyone knows everyone at every company. My wife-to-be is one of two female exterior designers at her company, and one of about 6 in the world (women, for whatever reason, are far more concentrated in interior design). It's crazy how many people it takes to put a car on the road, but how few people actually influence what they look like (not counting the focus groups and such).
