Peo­ple know him as the man who has designed more than 3000 prod­ucts, worked in 40 coun­tries and win­ner of umpteen awards. Lucky Guy? NO! Karim Rashid does not believe in Luck; his mantra is per­se­ver­ance, dili­gence and tal­ent. Read on to k…

“Karim feels young grad­u­ates should ded­i­cate some of their time doing projects that are out of their direct field of pas­sion. For exam­ple, if you want to become a fur­ni­ture design­er then work in some big cor­po­ra­tion like IBM design­ing com­put­ers. Here you can under­stand so much about the cul­ture of con­sumer goods. One can under­stand how cor­po­ra­tions work and how mar­ket­ing peo­ple are involved in a project. More­over, one learns how to work with engi­neers, and gives you the knowl­edge of how to get a prod­uct from con­cep­tion to the mar­ket.” View high resolution
