Not sure about his nationality, but "
The Crossfire was designed by 25 yr old Erik Stoddard, a graduate of Cleveland Institute of Art" that was "in homage to New York City's Art Deco masterpiece, the Chrysler Building." Also, "Andrew Dyson led the team that transformed Eric Stoddard's show car into a production-ready reality" and "The interior design effort was led by Glenn Abbott, who said he aspired to create the feeling of a stylish sports coupe with a sense of control, accuracy and simplicity."
