About Daniel Jimenez
I’m a designer whose work blends storytelling, culture, and future-driven innovation. Raised with a love for cars and shaped by my training at ArtCenter College of Design, I’ve contributed to award-winning concept vehicles for Nissan, Infiniti, and Genesis. My career spans advanced design, production development, and the creation of new design languages. Today, as the founding Chief Designer of Nissan Studio Six in Los Angeles, I lead a cross-disciplinary team exploring the future of mobility and lifestyle. For me, design lives in the space where intuition meets discipline—where raw emotion finds structure, and the friction between the two sparks new ways of seeing and creating.
