Mr Marc Andernach

Marc graduated from HfG Pforzheim, Germany, with a degree in Transportation and Industrial Design in 2009, followed by a Master’s degree in Transportation Design in 2012.

Alongside his Master’s studies, Marc began working as a freelance designer, primarily collaborating with market research and supplier companies within the automotive industry. In 2011, he temporarily paused his studies to lead a six-month research project with the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) in Stuttgart, in collaboration with the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio, where he served as lead designer.

Following completion of his Master’s degree, Marc joined Jaguar Land Rover’s Strategic Design Studio in the UK in a permanent role. After the studio’s closure, he continued within the Land Rover Interior Design department as an Advanced Designer, contributing to the initial design DNA and concept development—spanning components and service design—for future production vehicles. He contributed with his design to the Range Rover Velar (L560) and the Range Rover (L460, 2022). In addition, he collaborated closely with various internal teams on internal advanced design projects, e.g. exploring autonomous transportation and innovative human–machine interfaces (HMI).

After three years at Jaguar Land Rover, Marc broadened his design practice by relocating to Bristol. While working as a design consultant, he regularly delivered guest lectures at the University of the West of England (UWE), before joining the university full-time in 2018.
