?Hello!I’m Rachel. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. This is where I see myself purs-ing a career in the future. Out-side of design my hobbies include staying active, working out, playing soccer, being out-doors, and taking photographs. There are so many things I want to do and explore.

StatementI desire to work with clients that value my design visions and suggestions on the way to reaching a successful product. I seek clients who have clear communication skills and will provide helpful direction during the design process. By being active and finding work in the community I want to establish a network that will be beneficial. With every new venture I strive to create high-quality work while at the same time building a more dynamic portfolio.
