with soul
This work tends to resonate with people who care about how their work is received... not just how it looks. People who want to connect with their audience honestly and who understand that creative choices have influence and shape how others feel, move and engage.
It’s especially supportive for founders, makers and organizations who value collaboration, reflection and care and who want their work to feel aligned with who they are and who they’re here to serve.
For brands building something worth being understood
You’re doing meaningful work rooted in care, community, craft and conviction. But when your visuals don’t carry that weight, the story gets flattened (or missed entirely). This work is for brands who want their visual presence to communicate clearly and honestly... with care for both the message and the people receiving it.
Strategy first.
Storytelling that holds weight.
I start by paying attention to the people behind the work and the people it’s meant to reach. I’m thinking about where the creative will live and how it will be experienced.
Before anything takes shape, I work to align what’s being created with where the brand is now and where it’s headed. The focus is on amplifying what’s true, honoring lived experience, and designing for genuine connection with the people it’s meant to serve.
Visual storytelling, for me, isn’t about crafting a narrative to convince or convert. It’s about creating moments of recognition... work that feels legible, grounded and honest to the people it’s meant to reach.
I’m less interested in spectacle than I am in resonance. The goal isn’t to tell people what to think, but to help them feel oriented, seen and connected. When visuals are doing their job, they don’t shout at people. They invite folx in to be a part of something bigger.
This kind of storytelling appears across images, motion and digital spaces. It’s shaped by context, creativity and care and by a real respect for the people encountering the work on the other side.

The process is designed to be spacious and respectful of your time.
I use a set of thoughtful forms that you can move through on your own schedule, giving you room to reflect without the pressure of needing to articulate everything perfectly in real time.
From there, I stay close to who you are and who your work serves.
I listen for what’s felt but not always named, letting the creative take shape in a way that feels clear, grounded, and emotionally connected.
I love learning about people and their craft: how they help, what drives them and what matters beneath the surface.
The work grows out of that care, translating experience into visuals and language that feel honest and connected.

"Rachel is an exceptional branding expert and photographer. When I hired her to do a re-brand for my coaching business, I knew that she'd be thoughtful and intentional in her choices and would deliver a beautiful product. What I didn't expect was: a website that so immediately captured who I am and the client experience I deliver; to have so much fun working with her and seeing her vision come to light; or having every single person who sees my site say, "wow! this is so YOU".
I highly recommend Rach if you want to have your branding align with who you are and you want to capture your audience's eyes and heart!"
