About Me

My name is Rachel Lauren Tobias.
In a past life I studied international relations, Arabic, and how to make international development more efficient, effective, and most importantly, compassionate.
Now I work under the Bay Bridge for a design consultancy called IDEO helping spread human-centered design across the products and services we use and create as a society.
I love the Earth.
I love the People of the Earth.
My life goal is to Make My Mark.
I take pictures to exercise my eyes.
I like to eat Swedish Fish, avocados, and rice with milk.
I always wear two different socks. Always.
I climb rocks so I can see the into the distance.
I would love to know what inspires you.
