Hi there!

My name is Anna Koebel.

I’m a design student —

and an adventurer, climber, problem solver, leader, reader, and coffee (& tea) lover.

As a designer I aim to reduce barriers that challenge the pursuit of happiness, connection, health, adventure, and community through human centered design. I’m driven by a desire to improve daily living and society, and am always looking to connect with likeminded people and work opportunities that support this ambition.

I love meeting new people and learning about new perspectives. Reach out to chat about design, climbing, or answer the all important question: what’s your favorite color?

The pacific northwest has been my home for the last two decades; I’ve called Bend, Corvallis, Portland, and Eugene home over the years. These places have fostered a deep appreciation for outdoor adventure & equitable access to natural spaces for all.

Currently, I’m based out of NE Portland as I finish my final year of my BFA in Product Design at the University of Oregon, set to graduate in June 2025.

Outside of design, my life revolves around climbing. I’ve spent the last two years serving as the UO Climbing Team President and have been climbing competitively for 12 years.
