    CREATIVE ICON MAKES KIA DISTINCTIVE BY DESIGN

    Some must have considered whether Peter Schreyer had lost the ability to think rationally.

Back in 2006, Kia was still making in-roads into many of the markets Schreyer’s former employer had dominated for decades. Schreyer, however, saw the potential in Kia and welcomed the challenge he’d been offered: Completely redefine the image of the Kia brand through the power of design.
