Biography

Zahra (Sahar) Tashakorinia, design-centered entrepreneur, is creator of innovative products and meaningful user experiences. She holds a master of Industrial Design from University of Tehran and a master of Design focusing on innovation and Strategy from Illinois Institute of Technology.
With the help of Kickstarters, Tashakorinia was able to launch her first product, TidyTilt, an iPhone accessory in early 2012 when she was challenged as a student to solve an everyday problem. TidyTilt was one of the most funded successful design projects on Kickstarter.com at that time, with 2232% more funding than it’s initial goal. It featured on Wall Street Journal, Wired magazine and ABC 7 News. What started as a class project became a full-time business when she co-founded TT Design Labs, and sold the products in more than 80 countries. Through her company, TT Design Labs, she also developed two additional products—the TidyTilt+ and JustMount. TT Design Labs was acquired by Logitech in 2013, and Tashakorinia joined its team to continue expanding the future of mobile technologies. Before Logitech, Tashakorinia worked at SC Johnson, Sears, the Clorox Company and ECCO Design.
Tashakorinia has led product management and innovation design for couple of years. She enjoys findings people’s needs, driving product vision, product roadmap, and product definition all the way to develop and launch what people love to use.
Tashakorinia published papers and spoked at international conferences in the US, UK, Spain,Iceland, HongKong and Iran. She has multiple patents and received a 2014 Good Design Award, as well as a Gold Edison Award for Industrial Design and Innovation before receiving ‘Outstanding Young Alumni Award’ from Illinois Institute of Technology in 2016.
