Dana Cho

Dana is an Associate Partner and Location Director at IDEO. She leads a group of 40 designers who are passionate about brand experiences, service design and design for community. She feels lucky to have worked with some of the most fascinating brands ever: Nike, The Ritz-Carlton, Gap and Mayo Clinic to name a few.

Dana has a Master in Architecture from Harvard University and a bachelor degree in architectural design from MIT.

She has taught multiple studios at CCA - she loves their fine-arts-meets-design-and-business vibe and digs multi-disciplinary studios. She has also lectured extensively, at public venues like Globalshop as well as private, executive leadership seminars for large, consumer brands.

She loves brands that make her laugh and cry (in a good way). Her son, Ewan, also makes her laugh and cry but that's different.
