After an eight month international search, Core-fave Rama Chorpash was selected to join Parsons The New School for Design School of Constructed Environments (SCE). He'll be taking a tenure track position as Associate Professor of Product Design, and as the Director of Product Design. As Director, he will be charged to help create an integrated academic vision for SCE, including the MFA in Product Design and other new programs. And though he'll surely have his hands full, Rama will still be running his Rama Chorpash Design consultancy.
You'll recall Rama's star turn in our Design, Wit, and the Creative Act event (we miss you Tobi!), and you can read more about Rama in this Nice NYTimes article on Rama from 2006 here.
Congrats Rama!
