Hi! I’m Rachel.
I am a UX + UI Design Lead and Designer based in Atlanta, GA. I focus on product design and looking for areas of opportunity for growth or change within client products.
I have had the chance to work across many different industries and successfully delivered digital products and experiences. My design philosophy is to make information straight forward, easy to understand, and even fun! I take a lot of inspiration from games and puzzles when creating and I believe I create my best work when focusing on human-centered design.
I have worked with Fortune 500 companies and understand the needs of a large business with diverse stakeholder needs. I go out of my way to fully understand the experience of my clients so I can address their issues head-on.

Client Testimonials
"Working with Rachel is an absolute pleasure and I've been very pleased with the work she has produced. Rachel has been able to take direction and create designs that are impactful, and exceed expectations. As the airline industry is a very unique world that often requires detailed explanations and exceptions to every case, Rachel has shown very good initiative to learn and grow to understand how things operate and what is considered standard industry practice. Having this knowledge only makes her work better as she can better design for the end user."
