Summary
As a Lecturer, formerly visiting Professor in Mechanical Engineering Design at Stanford University, Dr. Barbara Karanian teaches how storytelling can fuel innovation and design. With a focus on the psychology of entrepreneurial work, Barbara's one of a kind methodology features storytelling as rapid prototyping. In her classes, she shows how emotions and motivation play starring roles for both the storyteller and the audience. In her 17 year collaboration with Digital Film Tree in Hollywood, she has contributed to new approaches in visual storytelling for the film industry. Recruited by the city of Espoo for Europe's Cities Sustainability Group 2030, Barbara further illustrates how narrative can drive large scale transformation blending creativity and real world impact. City leaders collaborate to examine metaphor, memory, and technique in her storytelling sessions.
