Hello again!

I’m Ömer Taha Döver, a design professional passionate about connecting human insight, business strategy, and sustainability to create meaningful impact.
I hold an MSc in Strategic Product Design (Cum Laude) from TU Delft, where I was awarded the Justus & Louise van Effen Excellence Scholarship. My work combines strategic foresight, research, and design thinking to help organisations innovate responsibly and effectively.

I’ve worked on a range of projects, from crafting a brand launch strategy for Bertolli, to designing a metaverse innovation platform for Ford, and developing service and digital design concepts for UMC Utrecht, Bugaboo, ATAG, and Bop Inc.
My approach blends analytical structure with creative intuition, ensuring every concept is not only desirable but also feasible, sustainable, and strategically grounded.

Before moving to London, I worked as a Junior Strategist at Heart Mind Design in Istanbul, where I helped clients like Eczacıbaşı, VitrA, and DenizBank translate research insights into innovation and brand transformation strategies.
