Hi. My Name is Rachel.

I'm an artist, graphic designer and photographer with a focus on surface pattern design.

I’m a wife and mother, a farm girl, and an animal lover. I’m a gardener and a beekeeper. I’m a musician who loves to sing and play violin. I love to be outside and get my hands dirty. I’m dedicated and motivated to better myself each day in my work, and in my relationships with all the people I love and share a life with each day.

I was raised in a very old house with so much history and on a dairy farm. I believe this is where my love of antiques, nature and animals began. I grew up without a tv, and I do believe that left a lot of room for creativity and exploration as my siblings and I spent countless hours outside using our imaginations. I always loved to draw and I discovered photography when my parents gave me their old 35mm camera and I fell in love with black and white photography. I learned to play violin and would secretly sing at the farm when my only audience was the cows. After high school, I got my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Photography.

I met my husband and got married, worked for a design agency for some time, switched to freelance design so I could work from home, and then started a family. While I had so little time to feed my creativity with 3 young boys, I found ways to be creative with them. I continued to photograph my children and got creative with their birthday invitations and parties. Being a mom has surpassed anything else I have accomplished in life. While I wasn’t working on my career much in that phase, I have no regrets soaking up every moment that my boys were at home with me full time.. It was such a special time.

Recently, my youngest son began full day school, so I decided to jump back in head first during their school day. I’m currently designing repeating pattern collections and just began selling on Spoonflower!
