Bunz, a four-year-old dwarf Lionhead rabbit, visits
Nissan Design America in California… at Easter.
Automotive design is a secretive world rightfully obsessed with keeping the prying eyes of the competition out. However, a peek inside Nissan Design America in San Diego proves inspiration comes from anywhere, even a bunny.
“Bunz” is a four-year-old dwarf Lionhead bunny visiting Nissan’s design studio with her owner, Color and Trim Designer Jacqueline Reeve. Bunz is symbolic of the open-minded culture designers require.
“Designing cars is a serious and competitive business,” said Taro Ueda, vice president, Nissan Design America. “Designers thrive in unique, fast-paced and creatively demanding environments, but it’s important to have an open mind and outside inspiration, even if sparked by a bunny visiting the office,” Ueda added.
Reeve brought Bunz to the office in a custom carrier made partly out of recycled fabric samples.
Nissan Design America is home to more than 60 employees, just part of 22,000 Nissan team members employed at locations throughout the U.S., including eight regional offices and major locations in Arizona, California, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
