Hi, I'm Rachel. I'll be your guide to all things websites!
I got started with designing websites in the Myspace era around 2005, and whew, a lot has changed since then. I’ve been working as a professional in the web world for a long time now; a little over 6 years as Lead Designer at a web design agency, as a freelancer/side-hustler during the same time, and now I am running my very own branding and web agency.
Needless to say, I’ve learned a LOT about how to design and build websites, and have streamlined and fine-tuned my process over the years. Now, I want to show you my personal process; the path of least resistance, and the most efficient way to build your own websites!
