An Eye on Design with Mercedes-Benz's Wini Camacho
“Their designs were going down in quality,” recalls Winifredo Camacho when he first entered Mercedes-Benz some 20 years ago. “Designers were overworked and it showed.” A result of the German luxury automaker’s aggressive product expansion plans then, Wini, as his friends call him, had his work cut out.

It necessitated a top-down rethink; one that Wini’s an integral part of.
