Robert Forrest is Project Leader at Konzepthaus, a global design consultancy and recruitment agency specifically for mobility design and digital creative industries.

He contributed to a number of designs for BMW, BMWi and Rolls-Royce, going on to lead innovation projects that determined his shift towards experience design. His interest in people, ideas and technology is reflected in his work, which uncovers the sweet spot between design, innovation and strategy for an array of clients.
