Fabio Ferrante began his design career in Turin in 2003 as an Industrial and Product Designer. Two years later he joined the FCA Design Research Center, training under Pietro Camardella — the designer behind some of Ferrari's most iconic models of the '80s and '90s, including the F40, the 456 GT, and the 512 TR. During that tenure he designed the interiors of the Sportiva Latina, awarded Best Innovation-Concept Car at the 2005 Barcelona Motor Show.

Over the following years he worked across the automotive industry with FCA Group, Alfa Romeo, and the Volkswagen Group in Europe and Asia. In 2010 he became Chief Designer and Creative Director at Puritalia Automobili, a boutique Italian manufacturer of limited-edition sports cars, for which he designed the Puritalia 427 roadster — unveiled in Milan in 2014. A year later he penned the FAW Go Concept, a sport sedan presented at the Shanghai International Motor Show. In parallel, he built a broad product design practice working with brands including Nikon, Nespresso, Haier, Ferrero, Ariston, L'Oréal, and Beretta.

In 2013 Fabio relocated to New York City, taking on international product design projects before joining ProtocolNY as Design Director in 2014. His team went on to earn five international design awards between 2015 and 2017. In 2019 he returned to Puritalia for one final chapter: the Berlinetta, a limited-edition supercar drawing on the golden era of Italian coachbuilding, premiered at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show.

In 2021 Fabio moved to California to help build the Design Department at Anduril Industries from the ground up — starting with a team of four and scaling it to over 30 designers. Working closely alongside founder Palmer Luckey as Senior Design Director, he helped shape the visual and physical language of some of the most consequential products in defense and technology. He now serves as Head of Design at Chariot Defense, a defense-tech startup where he leads the company's design vision at the VP level, reporting directly to the CEO.
