Hi, I’m Ken Baldauf. I’m an educator, innovation facilitator, and musician.
I am an optimist in the age of “accelerating change,” a time when optimism is being sorely tested. I am a humanist, technologist, futurist, and banjoist. I believe in the inherent strength, beauty, and goodness of the human spirit. I am the founding director of the Innovation Hub at Florida State University and teach Design Thinking to inspire creativity in young adults. I facilitate Design Thinking and Systems Thinking to promote innovation in businesses and organizations through Innovation by Design LLC. I work to inspire my community to invent the future through Moonshot Florida. I believe in nurturing creative confidence in children through The Sharing Tree. I make an effort to live a minimalist lifestyle with a focus on quality over quantity. I cycle to work and practice yoga and meditation in order to keep my balance. Check out the books that have influenced me.
