hey there, I'm Rachael! I am a communication designer currently located in Denver, Colorado. I will be graduating with a BFA in Communication Design from Metropolitan State University of Denver in May of 2026. My design practice focuses on creating intentional and strategic visual systems. My work blends research, concept development, and visual experimentation to translate complex ideas into clear and engaging design. Through thoughtful design, I aim to create work that is both visually strong and conceptually impactful. Let's connect!
