More on Ralph Gilles
Description from Wikipedia:
Ralph Gilles is a Haitian American automobile designer who grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada after his parents immigrated to New York City from Haiti.
Currently he is Vice President of Jeep & Truck Design at the Chrysler Group. Gilles gained fame for leading the styling of the 2005 Chrysler 300. Gilles joined Chrysler in 1992.
Gilles has been passionate about cars since the age of 6 and began drawing concept vehicles by the age of 8. When Gilles was 14, an aunt noticed he was talented at sketching cars and wrote to former Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca to inform him of her nephew's talents. A reply came from K. Neil Walling, Chrysler's design chief at the time, suggesting Gilles attend one of three design schools. He attended the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. In 2002, Gilles received an Executive MBA from Michigan State University. As of August, 2008, Gilles has replaced the now retired Trevor Creed as Senior Vice President of Design.
