Hope Rackers

Industrial Designer

I am a problem-solver with a passion for improving the human experience through User-Centered Design.

Design Philosophy
I believe in creating with the purpose of improving lives. I love opportunities to ask new questions and search for new answers, and I seek to ground my ideas in empathy for others' experiences. I value design that searches for new insights, truly seeks to understand the user, and that collaborates with others to think critically and creatively towards a solution.
