ABOUT ME

Rachel sits, facing the camera, on a rock on top of a mountain in front of a sunset.

Hey there! I'm a UI/UX designer with a passion for creativity and human-centered design. I graduated from DesignLab UX Academy after making a major career pivot away from my 5 year tenure as a professional seamstress.

As a seamstress, I witnessed the gap between people’s understanding of fashion's effect on the world and consumer desire to make more intentional choices. That's when I discovered the power of UX design and decided to dive into this exciting new path.

With my unique background, I can envision user experiences that are not just visually engaging but also feel tailor-made for each individual. I strive to delight users at every interaction, just like a beautifully crafted piece of clothing.

When I’m not designing, I fill my time with…

Bartending:

Finding the perfect harmony of flavors and creating a beautiful drink allows me to design a personalized experience in an exciting way outside of the digital realm. 

Running:

I love to run! Every week! I might not be the most athletically gifted but I run because of the joy it brings me and for the chance to enjoy the outside! Slowly working towards my goal of running a half marathon!

Music:

I grew up playing piano and now I’m adding cello to my list of instruments! Learning a stringed instrument is a new challenge but the process has been rewarding. Fostering a curious spirit has encouraged me to seek out all the experiences life has to offer!
