Behzad Rashidizadeh

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Creative, pragmatic, business oriented industrial designer with +5 years of demonstrated history in designing consumer electronics & medical devices. In doing so, I've gathered in depth knowledge of applying ergonomics in design, and in working with multiple startups, I've also mastered the skills for coming up with optimal design solutions to help them reinforce their strategy and stand out in the competition with limited tools and under tight budgets.

I look at design as an opportunity to create more meaningful and efficient ways of interacting with our surroundings to improve our daily life at a deeper level. I am passionate about problem solving and I always learn more about a subject by studying previous failed attempts than trying to study a success story.
