Zahra Tashakorinia

Teaches at IIT Institute of Design

With the help of Kickstarters, Zahra was able to launch her first product, TidyTilt, in early 2012 and established a design firm, TT Design Labs, in the process. Soon after the startup was acquired by Logitech and Zahra joined a small executive team to build and develop the Smart Phone Business Group. As a product manager leading design and innovation, she uses design thinking and design strategy processes to identify new business opportunities and product ideas and planning and managing new product development.

Before Logitech, Zahra worked on product design at SC Johnson, Sears, and the Clorox Company. She received her BFA and MFA focusing on product design and design research at University of Tehran before graduating from IIT Institute of Design with a Master of Design in 2012.
