Bio
Linda Bennington
Rachelle has amazing skills to use in design of all kinds. She is one of the most organized and dedicated people I have ever worked with.
Karen Mantzouranis
Efficient and responsive are two words I use to describe Rachelle. I had the pleasure of working with her for over four years at Bayard Advertising, collaborating on several client projects. I was particularly impressed by Rachelle’s ability to meet really tight deadlines. Working under pressure to deliver quality work in a short period of time is a skill most don’t possess, but she handled it graciously. Rachelle is an asset to any team she is a part of.
