Rachel lives on Tongva/GabrieleƱo land in Los Angeles and works as a senior art director in the entertainment industry. Originally from Baltimore, and after a detour to Atlanta for art school, she ventured to the west coast almost two decades ago and kinda fell into a career designing movie posters in LA. Creating tv and film marketing campaigns has honed her skill of telling an entire story through a single image. Her strong conceptual problem-solving, life experience, and referential ideas lend a unique perspective to every project they bring to life. Since 2020, she has been a Chapter Leader for Climate Designers Los Angeles, where they host local meetups and curate climate resources, volunteer opportunities, and events. Rachel is passionate about wild spaces, urban foraging, environmental and social justice, all forms of artistic expression, creativity, imagination, and continual learning. All things zero-waste, repurposed, found, secondhand, or alternative materials. Creating before consuming.
