Bo Shepherd, talented designer, artist, and co-founder of Woodward Throwbacks, has always had a passion for cars. Growing up, her love for automobiles led her to study transportation design at Detroit’s College for Creative Studies. After completing her education, Shepherd joined General Motors, where she worked on the Chevy product line designing car interiors. Notably, she was only the third African American woman to hold a position in interior design at GM. Despite her accomplishments, Shepherd found the corporate environment stifling for her burgeoning creativity and desire for greater freedom.
