“My job is what I like to do as a hobby, and I get paid to do the things I did as a kid.”

As a child, Grant Larson was always drawing cars. “My first job, when I was sixteen years old, was dusting off the cars in the Brook Stevens collection. I also discovered the design office back there, which also got me going.”

Feeding off of childhood dreams, it’s fitting that this MIAD Industrial Design graduate is the designer of the Porsche Boxster. The Boxster has consistently received rave reviews from the automotive press. Larson credits MIAD for helping him to develop his creativity, intuition and ideas.
