Steve Schwall Email & Phone Number

Steve Schwall is a Partner and Managing Director at IDEO Chicago, where he works with creative leaders and executives to design new offerings, drive business growth, and transform their culture. After almost two decades of working with companies like Ford, Samsung, and Walgreens, Steve believes that successful change doesn’t come from a “big idea,” but rather teams looking at problems from new perspectives, challenging deeply held assumptions, and working together in new ways. An engineer and designer at heart, Steve is passionate about the power of design to address critical challenges and change how people see the world. He frequently speaks on topics such as prototyping and design thinking, and guest lectures at Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Notre Dame, but Steve is happiest when he’s “talking less and building more” in IDEO’s shop.Prior to joining IDEO, Steve played with little red wagons as a product design engineer at Radio Flyer. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.A. in Industrial Design from the University of Notre Dame. In his free time, he’s a cyclist, juggler, percussionist, and proud father of two.

Listed skills include Product Design, Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Concept Development, and 10 others.
