LONG STORY SHORT 💌
My name is Rachel and I am a design strategist at Vanguard currently based in Philadelphia. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan where I studied user experience design, business, and creative writing.
I’ve always been moved by stories. When I was eight, I stuck gum behind my ear to replicate Violet Beauregarde’s mealtime habit from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, resulting in an unfortunate haircut. My love of reading and writing from a young age shaped me into a deeply empathetic human, which is what eventually led me into design.
My past experiences at The New York Times and GoDaddy have been focused on leveraging design as a tool to achieve a company's mission. As such, I’m interested in creative strategy at mission-driven companies, with roles that involving research, design, and writing.
