Heyo, I'm Rach! :)

I'm a student studying Interactive Design + Psychology.

My Design Philosophy:

Excite contagiously.

Excitement is the catalyst that drives collaboration and sparks new ideas at the table

Volley sincerity.

Offer and absorb candid feedback because building big things takes tons of trust.

Learn continuously.

Each mistake contains a valuable lesson and opportunity to grow.

Play ruthlessly.

Dare to try new ideas that work creatively within change and constraints.
