Say hello to our newest addition to the team, Rachel! Rachel is a Corpus Christi native and recent graduate of Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi where she earned dual degrees in Graphic Design and Communication. Rachel’s got an eye for design and a knack for strategy that just clicks. We’re so excited to have her on board, so we asked her a few questions to get to know her and her style better. Read below to check out her answers and catch a glimpse of what she’s bringing to the team. Welcome, Rachel!
What’s the best part of working in design for you?
I love taking a client’s concept and turning it into reality! It’s the most satisfying feeling when I show my client their new designs and they feel great about the results.
What's a dream project you’d love to work on?
I would love to work with a brand like Billabong, Surf Locos, Bodyglove… really any surf-centered brand to create fun branding and merchandise designs!
What’s your favorite font or color combo of the moment?
I’m really into nature-based colors mixed with some bright airy tones and I love fonts that are bold and vintage-inspired. Taylor Penton is my favorite typographic designer right now and I use his fonts all the time!
Describe your design style in three words.
Beachy, flowy, fun!
If you weren’t a designer, what other career would you pursue?
Before I got into design I was into fine art and would paint and draw, so I’m sure that would be my other direction! Or I would love to find a way to get paid as a free surfer traveling the world and making content :)
Do you have a favorite design tool or must-have item in your workspace?
I live on Illustrator and Procreate! That’s all I need most of the time, with a cup of coffee.
What's your go-to coffee (or tea) order?
Either a cortado or a matcha latte!
How do you like to spend your weekends when you’re not designing?
If I’m not designing, I’m surfing!
What’s the last song you listened to?
Breakup Shoes, by Breakup Shoes
What’s one goal you have for your time with The Swell Studio?
I want to create some incredible branding and content that both me and my Swell team are extremely proud to show off!
