Bio
Lawrence Phung, PMP
Rachel started her career at InScribe as an Account Executive in the Sales Department. During that time, I knew Rachel as a patient and thorough rep who cared about her customers, and worked as hard for them after the sale as she did before it. After three years in Sales, Rachel joined the Art and Marketing team. One of her first assignments was to help update our websites, www.inscribe.com and www.paparte.com. She played a key role on the creative team that redesigned everything from the look of the sites to the navigation, coming up with new concepts to showcase our products and art and executing them. Rachel is the primary photographer for the Marketing Department, responsible for photographing and retouching lifestyle shots, products and displays for various marketing and documentation pieces. Despite frequently working with less-than-ideal lighting and space, Rachel consistently produces quality images. Rachel has continually demonstrated an eagerness to learn and grow, and she performs a wide variety of tasks for the Art and Marketing departments. No matter the assignment, Rachel is always willing to do whatever is asked of her, and tackles her work with enthusiasm. Rachel also possesses a strong knowledge of fashion and the stationery industry, and brings a cheerful, pleasant personality to the office. I would recommend Rachel as an asset to any creative or marketing team.

Rachel Leibowitz is a fantastic creative, and I'm here to write about it. I'd recommend Rachel as a consultant, freelance assett, and cross functional team player to any team seeking a visually driven contributor. I had the pleasure of working with Rachel in my time at InScribe as a graphic designer. We often collaborated on design and development of quarterly newsletters, direct mail marketing and visual elements for email marketing. I observed Rachel work as both an Sales Account Executive and member of the Art and Design team, and know she excels in both roles, often being a voice in the visual design of our ads and cover shots for our direct mail marketing magazine. Rachel helped manage the implementation of design pieces in websites featuring product catalogs and is responsible for product photography and cleanup. Rachel and the rest of the design team provided creative feedback, essential in developing new marketing materials, and that her input would enable me to look at a project with new insight and would coach me into a different direction when a design solution just wasn't working. Rachel was also one of the few people we could go to in the proof reading process, and helped continue to show quality in our marketing work. I gladly endorse Rachel for her work, and know she will have continued success in design or any other capacity she works in, and will speak with anyone seeking further input on my recommendation.
