About

Hi there! I'm Rachael, and crafting organization and clarity is my specialty.✨

My most defining characteristics are my passion for design (whether graphic or interior), food, and my undying love for my two corgis. My background has a mix of design, marketing, and communication skills that I'm looking to translate into user experience design or creative strategy with a company I can stand behind.

I graduated with honors from Colorado State University with a BFA in Graphic Design and a BA in Journalism & Media Communications.

In Denver, I worked as the Marketing & Brand Manager at Peak Beverage — a beverage catering company/liquor store — where I built a cohesive brand and implemented my marketing strategy.

In Portland, I’ve been working in design, marketing, and communications roles, where I’ve had the privilege to craft designs or content for big brands like Nike, Levi Strauss, Schwinn, and Total by Verizon with agencies IRON Creative and Digital Commotion.

Currently, I’m working as a graphic designer on the UX team at Lithia Motors’ Driveway. I’ve had the opportunity to work directly with Product to design features and contribute to their Design Systems.

Monthly, I host dMOB (design mob) with AIGA Portland to connect designers and creators in our community.
