I’m Eleanor (Ellie) Hoffman, an Industrial Design student at the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP).

To me, design is not just about the product, but the people we meet and connections we make along the way. It’s about being inspired, inspiring others, and changing for good. I’m driven by curiosity and emotional connection, exploring how spaces and objects shape the human experience. My interests lie in brand strategy, design research, innovation design, creative direction, and product & communication design.

Outside of design, you can find me wandering around at local events in Cincinnati, downwards-dogging at a yoga class, taking long runs, and finding a new album to obsess over for the next month (recommendations are highly encouraged)…
