“Rachel is a thinker, not just a designer or a creative director. She is a problem solver and consistently finds the most effective and unexpected solutions out there. From traditional consumer campaigns to B2B she has the uncanny ability to make work that resonates with the correct target audience. As a designer she pushes the envelope in every project whether it's concept, form, function, every medium thrown at her. Throughout projects she infuses the team with a positive attitude that is inspiring and infectious. In other words she rocks.”

Plus, she's just nice and easygoing, even when projects get stressful. I miss working with her and highly recommend her as a great addition to any company.”
- Nicole Berard, Senior Copywriter, Mullen worked directly with Rachel at Mullen
“I worked with Rachel on some very challenging assignments. Credit Card packages! Talk about everything having been done....She always brought a fresh perspective and a boatload of ideas to the concepts and the design. She's also easy to work with and never hesitates to pitch in whenever needed.”
- Vashti Brotherhood, Freelance Writer, Mullen worked directly with Rachel at Mullen
“Rachel is one of the smartest and most collaborative art directors I've had the pleasure of working with. She approaches each assignment with a strategic angle, a good eye for design and openness to others' ideas. Rachel is not satisfied with ‘just okay,’ so expect the bar to be raised. Outside of work, Rachel is equally passionate about her life’s pursuits and is an insightful and thoughtful friend.”
- Laurie Asmus, Sr. Copywriter, Arnold Worldwide worked directly with Rachel at Arnold Worldwide
“Like Carolyn, I worked with Rachel at Arnold Worldwide and was equally impressed with her talent and abilities. (I also really enjoyed her as a person.) As an art director, Rachel brings to the party a solid foundation in graphic design, a wonderful aesthetic, a highly strategic mind, and something else that, in my mind, makes her even more valuable: She’s not afraid of change. I’ve seen her reinvent – a look, a format, an entire approach – over and over again. When the task is to keep a brand fresh, as it so often is, you want Rachel on your team.”
- Betty Egan , VP/Creative Director, Arnold Worldwide managed Rachel at Arnold Worldwide
“I had the good fortune to work with Rachel at Arnold Worldwide. We collaborated on several projects for Royal Caribbean and Volkswagen. And we always found a way to do award-winning work which got great results for our clients, while having fun at the same time. Rachel is a talented art director who works well with others, has a great eye, and is passionate about doing great work. She's not afraid to challenge herself or push the envelope creatively when she has a better solution in mind. And something that I find refreshing as a Copywriter: Rachel is excellent at thinking both strategically and conceptually.”
