Hi! I'm Rachel.

What are two things you're interested in right now?

I'm really interested in skincare and nail art. This past summer, I spent a lot of time researching dermatology and the chemistry behind skincare ingredients, and I feel that I've been able to successfully refine my routine. I've also recently picked up nail art; I like the idea of experimenting with patterns and stickers on my nails. I currently have different colored stars on my nails.

What does your cultural diet look like?

I enjoy traversing YouTube and watching capybara videos, skincare and makeup tutorials, Vogue interviews, and psychology informational videos. I also spend a lot of time looking at Sol Cotti's website; she's a graphic illustrator who creates a lot of work for newspapers like the NY Times and Washington Post (and for schools, like Williams!). For artistic inspiration, I enjoy looking at Artsy.

What is your cellphone wallpaper?

My lock screen is a photo of windmills taken by Cedar Stone. My home screen is a photo of some architectural calculations I made for my internship at NYU. My laptop home screen is a painting of a boy and his dog by Alex Katz, titled Vincent and Sunny.

What song are you most embarrassed to love?

I don't want to say that I'm embarrassed to listen to old Maroon 5 and Coldplay because I've been trying to realize that having a particular taste shouldn't be looked down upon. I'm kinda embarrassed that I listen to Love Letters, the podcast by the Washington Post, but I enjoy hearing stories of people falling in love (and not).

Anything else you want to share with us?

Message me anytime if you need help with graphic design/Adobe or skincare, or just want to say hi!
