History edit
CDN was founded in November 1999 by Brett Patterson,[2] an automotive designer working at the time for General Motors on assignment in Detroit. In 2004, Patterson relocated to London, UK, taking on fellow car designers Nick Hull and Sam Livingstone as partners.
Eric Gallina came on board in 2005 and helped grow the site's editorial content as well as its reach. He became Editor just before the company was acquired by Ultima Media Ltd[3] in 2008. Gallina continued to work under new ownership, running the website and commissioning contributors from 2008 through 2012.
The Car Design News portfolio of activities currently includes Car Design of the Year,[4] Car Design Night,[5] Car Design Awards China,[6] Car Design News Webinars,[7] Interior Motives[8] (a print magazine illustrating in detail the design development of selected car interiors), Interior Motives conference,[9] and the Interior Motives Student Design Awards.[10]
