Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm an experienced freelance art director and designer in Kansas City. I’m passionate about creatively connecting the dots for your business through branding, web design and thoughtful problem solving.
We’ve all been here.
The place where our expectations for a project are carefully scheduled out, everything seems so solid and even a little foolproof. Then reality creeps in. Budgets get reallocated, somebody quits, the shoot location is suddenly unavailable, and things start to feel like they're drifting sideways and the plan needs to pivot at best.
With 12 years of experience, street smarts and marketing savvy in my toolbox, I'm a strategic art director that can lead you through the twists and turns, setbacks and challenges of a project. Bonus points if we can build a partnership and I can integrate into creative teams along the way. I love working directly with clients and small business owners but can also drop into agency teams to lend a hand and guide a project. I’m a great fit for branding, art direction, web design, campaigns, big ideas, and omni-channel needs.
