Maria Greger, former head of colours and materials at Mazda, offers a glimpse into her design career
Mazda’s design team has been knocking it out of the park. The company’s latest production models and concept cars, including but not limited to the CX-30, 3, RX-Vision and the Vision Coupé, have pushed the brand’s Kodo design language. Both the exterior and interior design teams have clearly been working to execute a confident and consistent finish on each vehicle.
Maria Greger is the former head of colours and material at Mazda, newly retired in 2021. In this interview, carried out in-house by the Mazda team, she unpicks her approach to design and shares some of the highlights from her career.
