Rachel Hoppes

Growing up I was always making something. Whether it was drawing the animals on my family farm, playing in Microsoft Paint or drawing sharpie tattoos on my friends, I had a love for creating and problem-solving. After being involved in photography and art throughout my 4-H career, I grew a passion for art and design. I was pointed in the direction of pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media with a minor in Project Management at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. 

I learned hands-on skills that kick-started my fire for design. I had a project showcased on Packaging of the World and have had a few design opportunities before I opened my door at Blue Door Consulting! I believe everything happens for a reason and I’m inspired by the number of talented individuals I’ve been introduced to. I reach for the stars and find ways to make projects come to life. I love ideation and brainstorming and seeing ideas grow to full concepts. 

When I’m not designing, I can be found traveling, being outdoors (kayaking, hunting, fishing, biking, hiking – anything really!), up north in the woods, volunteering, hanging with my husband Drew at a local brewery and hanging with my pups Ryder and Ruby.  I also love DIY projects, furniture restoration and woodworking.
