He claims that the four years of his life growing up in Boston, Massachusetts had a major impact on his personality. Collecting Matchbox cars and Micro Machines, falling a sleep with a transparent orange tinted screw-driver, instead of plush teddy`s! Steadily capturing his impressions on paper, with blueberry flavored markers. By the age of twelve, he was introduced to Graffiti. SHAWN has been his Graffiti-writing name for the following years, learning the essence and being supported by infamous Artists. THESIGNER is for him, the bridge – of the Artist and the Designer. After graduating Art school he was driven even more to create “things” in 3D, “ things you can hold in your hands – things that you can use”, as he says. He decided to move on and start his career as a car designer. FLATAU graduated 2008, after Internships in London and Los Angeles, with honors from the Pforzheim University of Transportation Design. Since then he has been enjoying working for AUDI Konzept Design Munich and trying hard to keep up the output for vs.YOU.
