Jerome Caruso

At 12 years old, Jerome Caruso discovered his career when a friend of his father introduced him to industrial design, and he heard about a General Motors contest for futuristic car concepts. “I worked in the basement every day after school for months,” Caruso remembers, “developing a clay model for the car, transferring the design to a block of wood and carving it out by hand. That was when I realised what I wanted to do – especially after winning an award.”
