Hello! My name is Rachel. I’m passionate about designing innovative and creative solutions for a wide range graphic channels – including branding, print, digital, and user experience. I’m super organized and take pride in everything I do. This makes me very effective at managing projects and driving product quality, all while effectively meeting deadlines. Beyond the computer screen, I have an outgoing personality and a strong appreciation for how team building, communication and a shared mission can bring a group together. My ideal work environment includes a team of creative individuals that thrive in problem-solving situations and aspire to produce original, one-of-a-kind projects. I’ve always been involved in sports, from when I began competitively swimming at 8 until my senior year at CSU, Chico serving as President of the Water Polo team. In recent years, I’ve competed in 5 half marathons, 5 triathlons, 1 open water swim and countless other sporting events. I still stay active to this day, whether it's working out in the gym or hiking to Half Dome in Yosemite as I did in 2016.Visit rws-design.com to view examples of my work. If it piques your interest, as I hope it will, please reach out to me. It could be the start of a great working relationship!All the best,Rachel
