Celebrating Lifelong Learning: Michael Coyne’s Journey with Kadence

At Kadence, we believe in the power of lifelong learning and taking ownership of one’s career development. A shining example of this ethos is Michael Coyne, who has joined Kadence full-time after completing his master’s degree in Transport Design at Staffordshire University.

From Education to Industry

Michael’s dedication to both personal and professional growth sets him apart. While pursuing his degree, he honed his skills in traditional note-taking and hand sketching, practices that remain central to his work today. These analog techniques, often overlooked in a digital-first world, allow Michael to deeply engage with his ideas and foster a creative flow that complements Kadence’s innovative approach to automotive design.

The Discipline of Analog Skills

Michael’s commitment to traditional methods reflects Kadence’s belief in the value of analog skills for designers and engineers. For Michael, maintaining quality offline notes and sketches is not just a discipline—it’s a way to bring clarity, creativity, and individuality to his work. By pairing these skills with advanced digital tools, Michael exemplifies the balance that drives innovation at Kadence.

Supporting the Next Generation

Michael’s journey is also a testament to Kadence’s investment in talent development. Through our New Talent Development Programme, Michael gained hands-on experience with live projects and access to industry mentors, preparing him to excel in a dynamic, global environment. Now a full-time team member, Michael continues to embody Kadence’s commitment to nurturing creativity and fostering lifelong learning.

Shaping the Future Together
