Anyone who appreciates an amazing colour, material & finish (CMF) scheme should hear the views of Alexandra ‘Sandy’ McGill, lead designer at BMW Designworks. She joined the studio straight after graduating at UCLA and hasn’t looked back, creating exciting and creative schemes and concepts for sectors including automotive and aviation.

Sandy discusses everything from the studio’s 50th anniversary, to the trials of bespoke colour schemes, her time with big names like Chris Bangle and Marek Reichman, wellness and sustainability in CMF, and why beige is back. But will our host Matt Nicholls get his dream pink and gold interior scheme?

Interview conducted by Matthew Nicholls, vice president of marketing at Perrone.
