Hi, I'm Rachel!

I am currently working toward my M.S. in Industrial Design at the University of Houston. A certification in Foresight & Future Studies from the University's College of Engineering will accompany my master's degree. I expect to graduate in May of 2025. 

I am a proud graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), where I earned my bachelor's degree in Art; with minors in Art History and Criticism & Museum Studies.

I earned a certificate in UX/UI Design from Rice University in March of 2022. This acquisition left me eager to start my new career in the field of design. I started my graduate program soon after. 

Creativity and design surround my life and work. In my free time, I have numerous hobbies that I am passionate about; principally cooking, photography & travel.

I have always thought of myself as being left-brained, with strong creative inclinations, because my brain, even in creative settings, always thinks about problems analytically, looking for patterns and structure, while also using lateral thinking to think of possible solutions.
