About Me:
Mark Randall, Founder of Cool Grey 5
Interned at Ford Motor Co in 1996, designing wheels and body kits.
Graduated from Coventry University in 1997.
Worked as a designer for Omni Design Ltd post-graduation and later internationally at Lotus and Volvo Cars.
Spent a year in Australia at Holden before returning to Europe in 2004.
Learned Alias and began working for various companies across Europe like Ford, Hyundai, Renault, and GM.
Joined Volvo Trucks in 2006 as a designer, contributing to the design of the 2008 FH facelift.
Worked on the 2013 FH model and returned in 2014 for the new FH facelift.
Started at Lotus Cars in Hethel in 2010, enhancing Alias surfacing skills over two years.

The Covid-19 pandemic significantly changed how we work including a shift to remote working. This let me expand Cool Grey 5’s client base, and learn new skills in Sub-D concept modelling. My future plans include continuing to grow in Sub-D alongside NURB’s work and also offering training courses for Alias digital surfacing.
