Mihai Panaitescu
I’m a vehicle and industrial designer with a background in the automotive industry, having worked at Toyota, Lotus Cars, Pininfarina, and Ares Italy. My love for visual form and obsessive attention to detail shape every project I take on. I approach design with a cross-disciplinary mindset, drawing from engineering, user experience, and cultural insights to create products that are both functional and inspiring. My time in automotive design taught me to balance aesthetics with performance—whether it’s refining a car’s silhouette for aerodynamics or ensuring a product feels intuitive to use. I enjoy partnering with forward-thinking companies to transform visionary ideas into impactful products.
