Ryan Christopher Nagode was the chief exterior designer of the Dodge Avenger [1] as well as the MY2009 Dodge Journey [2], he graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art Industrial Design Program in 2003. Nagode says the front end of the Avenger was inspired by a fond pair of the designer's Oakley sunglasses [1] and the feeling they give him when he wore them, they inspired a slick / angular front end.

Nagode's father was also a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1974, and was a student of Viktor Schreckengost[5] and is Senior Designer at Fisher-Price [3].
