TESTIMONIAL

“Rachel has really helped us hone in on what we wanted to execute, and she's gotten it done. It's been incredible to work with [her] to establish a place and a voice for these emerging designers in a creative way through the content and collaborations, which have all been really unique. It's been really rewarding for us to streamline our vision for Brand Assembly moving forward.”
- Hillary France︎Co-Founder and CEO of Brand Assembly




The Assemblist


Rachel's initial work began with launching Brandy Assembly’s blog, The Assemblist. The goal was to create a destination that showcased Brand Assembly's extensive designer community and the happenings at the company's co-working spaces, trade shows, and events. The content also elevated Brand Assembly's co-founders, team, and industry collaborators. Rachel led the monthly content strategy, wrote the stories, and produced each story's correlating visual assets (photography and illustration). Additional samples are available upon request.
