A lifelong lover of art and automobiles, Michelle Christensen is the auto industry’s first woman to oversee the development of a supercar. In 2017, she directed the remodeling of the Honda Acura NSX, a second-generation hybrid sportscar, which was declared “Performance Car of the Year” by Road & Track Magazine.
With a 20-year background at Honda, GM, and Nissan, Christensen’s singular creativity has situated her as a force to be reckoned with across the industry. She became vice president of global design for luxury electric vehicle maker Karma Automotive in 2022. In April 2023, Christensen was named the company’s strategic driver, steering the brand in a new direction. She hopes to help distinguish Karma as one of the U.S.’s top ultra-luxury car brands and inspire other women and girls in the automobile industry to follow suit.
