Meet the lettering
queen behind the screen.

Hi, I’m Rachel—a hand lettering artist and illustrator creating relatable art inspired by everyday life. An optimist at heart, my number one goal is simple — to create work that makes people smile.

I’m originally from Northern Ireland, and now live in Florida. Living near the coast throughout my life has had a big influence on my illustrations. I’m inspired by the ocean, botanicals and mood-boosting color palettes.

I love that I get to create joy-filled designs that fill up my creative cup for a living and, better yet, work with amazing people to bring their visions to life. I can’t wait to meet you and see what we can dream up together!

Words to live by

You won’t be distracted by comparison if you are captivated with purpose.

#1 lettering tip

Trust your creativity. If you want to draw in the first place, it’s already there.

Coffee or tea?

I do love my coffee, but the Irish lady in me has to say, “Anything can be solved with a cuppa tea!”

Go-to font

If I’m not drawing the text myself, it’s hard to beat a nice italic Georgia. Full of vibe and yet so classic!


TV Addiction

I’ll be rewatching The Office and Friends forever.

 
 

Client Love

“I adore Rachel's work! It's bright, uplifting, vibrant, and emanates positivity - it's hard not to smile when you see it. We all need kindness and encouragement more than ever, and Rachel infuses those things into everything she puts out into the world. The cards I received are super high quality, packaged with care, and I was so excited to send them out to the loved ones I'm missing so much this year. I'll be back for more!”
