π Hello, Iβm Rachel
Accessibility-Focused UX/UI Designer
Iβm on the hunt for that sweet spot where design delights every kind of user.
I thrive on creating experiences that are both beautiful and inclusive. I believe great design should delight everyone β not just some. My mission is to prove that inclusive design can be stunning, intuitive, and impactful all at once. Because great design should never leave anyone behind.
π Along with UX/UI, I built a diverse creative foundation through digital design, fine art photography, graphic design, and classical art. Iβve collaborated with teams of every size β from small, grassroots groups to large corporate environments β and I bring that flexibility to every project I take on.
π· My years as a photographer and artist shaped how I see the world: I design with emotion, balance, and a deep respect for human connection. Living with ADHD and Dyslexia has also sharpened my empathy for diverse experiences, fueling my commitment to universal design and accessibility in everything I do. In 2021, I pivoted from photography to UX/UI to better combine my creativity with my love for problem-solving β helping people through design that truly works for them.
π¨ When Iβm not designing, Iβm usually creating something by hand β painting, sewing, cooking, or baking. I also teach fine art to 60 young students (ages 7β16) each week, which constantly inspires my sense of curiosity and play. Iβm a big fan of lighthearted comedies like 30 Rock, Community, and The Office. My favorite time to watch TV is while folding laundry or doing the dishes β otherwise, itβs books all the way!
πΊοΈ I live in the greater Denver area and am open to metropolitan relocation or remote work opportunities.
