Rachel Rosenbaum

As a design lead, Rachel guides Civilla’s work in Michigan to strengthen the child welfare system.

Her design experience spans many institutional settings. She specializes in large-scale technology projects, and was previously a key researcher on the redesign of Michigan’s benefits portal which provides access to more than one million people each year. Since then, she’s also done extensive work strengthening adjacent systems, including projects with the department of state and unemployment insurance agency.

Her passion for bettering communities has had a lasting impact throughout her career. Before joining Civilla, she developed human-centered design training programs for teams at General Motors and led a company-wide culture movement championing creativity.

Rachel’s a Cornell University graduate, former Challenge Detroit Fellow, and avid cyclist – clocking in more than 4,000 miles on her last cross-country ride.
