About Me.

I’m Rachael -
My journey started in the animation industry, where I found my passion in 3D and learned what it takes to create feature-film–level work. However, during the pandemic, something shifted. Quarantine made everything feel distant and two-dimensional. Spending every day looking at screens made me realize how much I missed real spaces, real atmosphere, and the presence of people sharing a moment together.
That shift pulled me into concerts, events, and experiential work. Designing for live events taught me how lighting, mood, and space shape the way people connect with a moment, and how my technical background could become something emotional and tangible when translated into the physical world.
Now, that blend of craft and lived experience guides everything I create. I build build narratives into spaces that feel intentional, cohesive, and alive - the kind of experiences meant to be stepped into, not just seen.
