Ehsan Baha, MSc.

I have a MSc in Industrial Design (ID) with a Business Process Design specialization and a BSc in ID with an Interaction Design specialization.

During the past years I have designed meaningful interactive products, systems, and related services. The most important aspect of design for me is how it affects people. Therefore, as a designer I am also interested in Design-Driven- and Societal- Innovation.

I enjoy creating new meanings and approaches. During my final bachelor project, I developed an innovation approach in which creating value propositions for the future is based on obtained insights from analyzing the past. When doing so I call myself an Archaeological Designer. I analyze evolution of artifacts and people to understand and define the pros and cons of the current state of a phenomenon [e.g. experiencing music]. Based on these insights, I envision the future and make feasible tangible proposals to people, society, and companies [e.g. see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhvgZVOXD8]. This way I am using design to develop, protect, and recover phenomena.

In my final master project I created a process for designers to initiate open innovation with multi-stakeholder. Moreover, by embedding co-reflection in the design process I enabled designers to both design for (designing) and design with (facilitating) stakeholders. This process was applied and evaluated in a real life multi-stakeholder case in which a solution was designed for a client in Finland.
