I’m Rachael. With an extra “a”.
I care about design, and design with care.
I’m Rachael. With an extra “a”.
I care about design, and design with care.
Like many kids, I started with doodling. That turned into studio art, then graphic design, and in freshman year of college I found product design. Something clicked.
Since then, I’ve designed mobile and web apps for clients, worked on cool startup projects, and taken on side projects just for fun.
I'm a junior at Dartmouth College studying Computer Science and Design. At Dartmouth's Digital Applied Learning and Innovation Lab (DALI), I’m working on exciting, real-world projects. I believe design has the power to make a real impact, not just by solving problems, but also by creating moments of joy, discovery, and connection. I hope to be able to make a difference, however big or small, in the work that I do.
When I'm not huddling over my laptop on Figma, you’ll probably find me playing volleyball, taking photos of good food for my Beli, or learning my favorite songs on the guitar.
