CREATIVE OPERATIONS Manager, SENIOR designer, Crafter & painter, supreme defender of process.
Bringing order to creative spaces
Hi, I’m Rachel, a creative operations specialist with 20 years of agency experience. I have contributed to award-winning campaigns and rebrands as a Studio Manager, Art Director, Designer, Photographer, Brand Manager, Retoucher and Production Specialist, with 15 of those years spent successfully managing multidisciplinary teams in high-volume, fast-paced environments.
My successes, beyond the day-to-day of managing an efficient creative studio, span a wide array of agency process & operations implementations and improvements, as well as regularly determining creative solutions to complex production problems, with perfection always being the end goal.
Of all the skills in my repertoire — strong design sense, a firm understanding of how to successfully manage a robust team, and ability to find gaps and inefficiencies in agency process and provide actionable solutions — what I’m most proud of is my ability to collaborate with team members across all facets of a business to navigate any creative or operational challenge.
Some weird brags:
I can say the alphabet backwards in under 3 seconds.
Patton Oswalt once included me on a list of “The 20 Funniest People on Twitter” (I was actually the 21st person on the list, but I don’t think he was really counting).
I once had to wait for valet alongside the Yankees — most notably Derek Jeter and A-Rod…while I was dressed as a clown.
