I'm Rachel :)

I'm a Pittsburgh-based product designer who has roots in software engineering.

As much as I enjoyed software, I always knew I wanted to pursue a creative career. I spent the ends of my college days convincing professors to let me take their UX-geared courses. I knew that eventually I wanted to work in design.

After a few months on the iOS App teams at Wayfair, I made the transition to Product Design and haven't looked back.

Interests

Outside of design, you can find me working on some fiber-related project (like knitting a sweater I will probably never finish) or watching Antiques Roadshow.

I'm also a lifelong member of Pittsburgh's vibrant Eastern-European folk dance community. I've traveled around the world to preserve and protect the heritage of these communities. When I'm not rehearsing with one of my ensembles, I help design promotional posters for our many events. (Check them out below!)
