Hi there!


My name is Raquel. On the weekends you'll find me exploring new coffee spots, immersing myself in art at museums, or chasing the sunrise on a hike. I'm always up for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures. I love learning and listening and am passionate about storytelling, smart strategy, and visually compelling creative work. 

After five years of content production at National Geographic, I’m excited to use my Brandcenter Art Direction education to continue to tell stories that inspire.
