Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum Honoured With Britweek Design Icon Award

Design Director for Jaguar, Ian Callum, was recognized for his significant contributions to British design when he received the prestigious BritWeek Design Icon Award at the recent BritWeek Christopher Guy Design Event in West Hollywood.

Since joining the brand in 1999, Callum has been at the forefront of the transformation of Jaguar’s design aesthetic. He is responsible for the new design language created over the past decade, which includes the current Jaguar XK, followed by the XF, the XJ and most recently the F-TYPE.

Born in Dumfries, Scotland, Callum studied Industrial Design at the Glasgow School of Art. Upon graduating, he opted to specialize in vehicle design, enrolling at the Royal College of Art (RCA) on the Automobile Design course and has since received five honorary doctorates from universities around the world.

“Design has long been a strength of the Jaguar brand and I’m honored that fellow British designer Christopher Guy has recognized my appreciation for automotive design with the BritWeek Design Icon Award,” said Ian Callum.
