About Me

My name is Lucas and I have been passionate about cars since I was a kid.

I have over 12 years of experience as a User Interface Designer and I have worked on a wide variety of industries during that time.

For the past 4 years, I have been working in the automotive industry and it has been a dream come true for me. I have had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects and I have learned so much about the industry.

One of the highlights of my career was the two years that I spent as part of the core team of the Mercedes me app.

I have always been frustrated by the lack of quality in many car apps, so I decided to write this ebook. My hope is it will inspire other designers to create better car apps that truly meet the needs of users.
