Anna Costamagna is an Italian Interior Design Manager working at Peugeot<\/a> and Advanced Design Manager for Stellantis<\/a>. While her mother worked as an assistant to Sergio Pininfarina, she was initially drawn to fashion design before venturing down the path in automotive. She began her career at Bertone<\/a> in Caprie, a suburb of her native Turin, after studying engineering and management at the acclaimed Politecnico di Torino<\/a>. Costamagna then moved to Paris, France, to bring Peugeot production cars to fruition. Despite not speaking a word of French, then design director G\u00e9rard Welter hired her on the spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over her career, Costamagna has worked with a number of companies to develop future-looking concepts as well as groundbreaking interior proposals, including the Peugeot i-Cockpit, which made its debut on the 2010 SR1 concept and the production 208 two years later. In this episode of FORMCAST, Form Trends editor Eric Gallina spoke with Costamagna about her career path, interface and advanced design, diversity in the workplace and the role of the designer and manager in the corporate environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
