Four Rich Christoph, a 2005 graduate of the art program, worked as the design lead on the 2007 Harley-Davidson Nightster—an ultra low, tough-looking Sportster. The Nightster was released on stage at a dealer show in Florida.

While designing the motorcycle, Christoph was influenced by hot-rod and post-WWII styles. He also had the opportunity to work closely with Willie G. Davidson, grandson of the founder of Harley-Davidson.

Christoph has been receiving a lot of attention for his design work on the bike. He has been featured in the New York Times, as well as other newspapers. Other UW-Stout graduates working at Harley-Davidson's Design Studio include Frank Savage, Manager of Design and Tony Pink, Industrial Design Senior.
