Chris Beatty

Design Consultant & 3D Artist at Chris Beatty Design

Chris Beatty is a designer and 3D artist from England, specializing in conceptualizing vehicles and products for both real-world and futuristic applications. With two decades of experience in product design, visualization, and 3D animation production, he combines technical expertise with creative vision to deliver high-impact designs.


Chris has contributed to high-profile projects in the motorsport industry, including leading the styling of racing cars currently competing in the Indianapolis 500 and collaborating with multiple Formula 1 teams in a creative capacity. His work blends aesthetic innovation with functional design, making him a trusted designer for both competitive and concept automotive projects.

  • Aesthetics play a huge role in the appeal of race cars, and the universal aero kit for the 2018 season, designed by Chris in collaboration with series head of aerodynamic development Tino Belli, helped to make IndyCar one of the best-looking race series on the planet over the last two years.

  • Incredibly talented 3D designer. He digested and expanded upon the briefs we gave him for the Formula 1 exhibition. Chris made our lives so easy with pre-visualizations, and conceptual artwork, before rigging up detailed models of the inner-mechanics of a Formula 1 car, the likes of which nobody has ever detailed before. He's a pleasure to work with, and the work itself is always stellar.
