Attended the Turnbull Design Speaker Series where gues speaker Ehsan Noursalehi a senior product designer at Samsara.
Ehsan talks about why he became a designer and his journey through his career, he also talked about his early life where he never knew what a designer is. He mentioned how his family was his greatest support, it was a great experience on how lego was his inspiration to get into design. He then went on talking about how his first design project called “Bump” was about prosthetics and how he can help millions of amputees, he went on to design t-shirts , websites, and etc. While designing for amputees, the group that Ehsan was with traveled to the facility around the world where his team further understand what the amputees are looking for and how the prosthetic they create are what the amputees are looking for, which are accessible, affordable, and durable.
The experience was amazing, I learned a lot about how design can change the life of many and in a way inspire those around you. Unfortunately for the amputee project was canceled due to an unforeseen circumstance but in the end, Ehsan was happy that he was able to work on the project and that it was a successful launch.
