Rachael Dietkus helps professionals leave their corporate and government roles with integrity, reclaim their sense of purpose, and design a next chapter that honors both their values and their well-being.

Rachael is an internationally recognized leader in trauma-informed design, civic tech ethics, and care-centered approaches to public interest technology and service delivery. As the founder of Social Workers Who Design, she works at the intersection of design, social work, and systems change, helping organizations build ethical, sustainable, and trauma-responsive practices that strengthen both their people and their impact.

With twenty-five years in public service, Rachael’s work spans government, healthcare, academia, philanthropy, and social impact design. She has advised federal agencies, design studios, public health teams, research organizations, and nonprofits across the United States and internationally. Her practice centers on care, integrity, and psychological safety — not as soft skills, but as the core infrastructure of effective, humane, and values-aligned work.

From 2022 to 2024, Rachael was the first and only social worker-designer at the White House with the U.S. Digital Service, where she integrated trauma-informed approaches into federal technology, disaster response, and interagency service delivery. She later served as a Design Supervisor with the U.S. Digital Corps, guiding early-career designers and data scientists as they navigated the complexities of purpose-driven public service during some of the most challenging moments in civic tech history.

Rachael’s work has been featured in Fast Company, Design Observer, Fortune, and MIT Press. She is the author of the forthcoming book Trauma by Design (MIT Press), which examines how design and technology can perpetuate harm and how practitioners can cultivate care, accountability, and relational integrity in high-stakes environments instead.

Her career has been shaped by supporting grief, navigating institutional dysfunction, advancing trauma-transformed systems change, and witnessing how corporate ways of working quietly shape even the most mission-driven spaces. She believes that leaving harmful environments is an act of courage and care, and that unlearning the patterns that exhaust us is essential for building work that restores us.
