While GCD as a company was founded in 2008 by Hannah Macmurray, the online website only took its form as it is today in October 2010! Since then we have seen our readership grow, our social media boom, and our role as media partner to significant ecological and automotive events worldwide develop. We are not just a pretty face either, we get involved! Every year we pledge to support up to 5 charities via our website as well as facilitating workshops and events to promote the need for green design at the core. If you want to get involved or need our support please email us contact@greencardesign.com.
Hannah - Founder
Hannah Macmurray is a trained and practiced car designer, having worked at Honda and Mercedes-Benz’s advanced studios in Tokyo. In 2002, she moved to Milan to set-up her own independent design studio Hidesignworks with clients including Pininfarina, NSBrands, and Princess. Hannah was also a regular contributor to a number of publications including Car Design News, WGSN, Quattroruote and Japanese lifestyle magazine Stile.
In 2006 Hannah moved to London with the mission to marry her passion for design and cars with her respect for the planet – she felt car design had become wasteful and self-indulgent. A year later she founded Green Car Design, an online magazine dedicated to eco driven automotive design. Her mission has been to motivate and champion a green design and sustainability.
