Chicagoland-born and raised, I’m a graphic designer passionate about creating meaningful work that supports the communities and organizations that have shaped me. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and enjoy translating complex ideas into thoughtful visual solutions that balance strategy, function, and impact.
Throughout my career, I have worked across higher education, corporate, nonprofit, and small business environments, helping organizations communicate their stories through intentional design. While visual communication remains my strongsuit, I have continually sought opportunities to expand my skillset through project management, copywriting, industry research, and workshop facilitation.
Committed to lifelong leadrning, I am current pursuing a Master’s of Science in Organizational Leadership at Creighton University, where I am deepening my understanding of healthy, inclusive leadership and organizational effectiveness. As my career evolves, I am increasingly drawn to opportunities that allow me to guide teams, foster culture and collaboration, and help creatives reach their professional goals.
Outside of work, I live in Papillion, Nebraska with my fiancé, our two cats, and two pet spiders. When I’m not creating, my hobbies include wandering around Target, drinking oatmilk lattes, cheering far too enthusiastically at sporting events, and planning adventures around the United States.
"Having directly managed Rachel for several months
as a George Washington Carver Intern, I have 100 percent confidence that Rachel would be an asset to any organization. Her ability to work on a team, individually and with all types of people allowed for her to shine while at the Foundation. Rachel’s high level of professionalism, strong attention to detail
and willingness to take on any project would make her the right choice for any employer."
