Bio
Matthew Krajewski
Rachael is an incredible designer, and one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with on any product. She is highly collaborative and is very active in asking questions and making sure she understands the requirements, vision, and business objectives coming from the team. She is able to interpret this inbound information, and deliver targeted, beautiful, and user-friendly designs. What has been particularly delightful for me is to see these designs continue to evolve, and get more refined and sophisticated as we continue to work together. I cannot imagine refining the Paysa user experience with any other visual designer, and consider Rachael to be an integral part of the Paysa team.

I highly recommend Rachael, as one of the best designers I have worked with. Rachael was responsible for all of the design and UX at AFAR, for both the site and the mobile app - a huge task, which she performed incredibly well, winning us several awards, and all while being extremely easy to work with; she was a favorite of the developers. She had an especially difficult task, as AFAR is a travel media company with both inspirational article-type content, and a travel guide with a trip planner. This meant her designs and UX had to adapt to multiple use cases, and work for both a lean-back content consumption experience, and an active, lean-forward app type of experience.
