Yellowbrick, a global leader in online education and career exploration, and the world-renowned Petersen Automotive Museum have teamed up to empower the next generation of automotive designers with a newly-released free online course led by some of the top names in vehicle design.

“Auto Design & Sketching” highlights a path to a career in automotive design for anyone with a burning passion for cars and design, while mapping out a possible career in the future of transportation. The self-paced online course features three modules: Design Principles & History, Famous Case Studies and Let’s Draw, which focuses on sketching exercises.

The course is guided by an illustrious group of automotive designers, including Franz von Holzhausen (chief designer, Tesla Motors), Ralph Gilles (chief design officer, Stellantis), Christine Feuell (brand CEO, Chrysler), Francesc Arenas (design director, Hispano Suiza) and Roman Yneges (faculty, Art Center College of Design).

“We designed this course to simplify and illuminate a path to a career in automotive design,” said Justin Wolske, director, partnerships and strategic initiatives for Yellowbrick. “High-level training in this field isn’t always easily accessible, but we’ve removed some of those barriers by offering the program at no cost and involving an esteemed lineup of contributors.”

Auto Design & Sketching’s first module is available now, with the second and third modules slated for release in December and January, respectively. Participants only need to provide an email address and be at least 13-years-old to participate. For information or to register, visit yellowbrick.co/autodesign.
