Who am I? Hello, my name is Lucas Manou I am an industrial design major as San Francisco State University. My primary interests are architecture, and automotive design. I love modern design as well as brutalism and gothic architecture. when it comes to the automotive industry my love spans from cars, trucks to motorcycles. I hope to grow as a designer and in a perfect world have my own automotive design firm specializing in aftermarket parts or working directly with auto manufacturers. But truthfully as long as I can drive cool cars and live in a nice home with a loving family I am beyond happy regardless of profession. Honest - Opinionated - Passionate.                          "The alternative to good design is always bad design. There is no such thing as no design."
