We’re continuing the CDE Podcast with Harm Lagaay — former Head of Design at Porsche.
Harm takes us through one of the most influential careers in modern car design: from joining Porsche as a self-taught designer, to BMW Technik and the Z1, to Porsche’s turnaround years with the Boxster/996 and the decisions that reshaped the brand. We talk cost-efficient design, bold moves under pressure, and what it really takes to evolve an iconic design language without breaking it.

Dom shares what it’s like to build a design studio from zero, why satellite studios matter for a global OEM, and how advanced design can drive change (not just “win projects”). Plus: the story behind the team’s Corvette hypercar concept, how they balance bold vision with real-world feasibility, and what young designers should actually show in their portfolios.
