Book a time with Rachel Denti on We the Makers network

Designer, illustrator and art director

Hi! My name is Rachel Denti, and I am a multidisciplinary designer with a love for storytelling and concepting. I was born in Brazil, where I grew up watching anime and spending too much time on the internet, which made me realize I loved drawing and playing around with graphic software. I graduated in Graphic Design at the University of Brasilia (UnB), and during my major I spent a year in The Hague, at KABK, studying Fine Arts. During my last years at school and for my first few years after graduating, I worked as a freelance designer for clients all around the world. In 2017, I moved to NYC to join the team at Sagmeister & Walsh — which later became &Walsh — where I had the humbling experience to work alongside Jessica Walsh and an impressive amount of crazy talented people of all expertise. Throughout the 4 years I was there, I worked across several different creative areas such as illustration, art direction, branding, copywriting, commercials and much more. In early 2021 I took an opportunity to work as a Graphic Designer at Nike, and moved across the country all the way to Portland, OR, where I currently reside with my chonky cat Rambo. My approach to design is to never look at anything on its own, and understand projects — big or small — as a collaboration of diverse practices in order to tell a story. I strongly believe that the more we know, the more we're able to contribute to the work we make, and that the process might sometimes be more important for a project than the result itself. With that perspective in mind, I can offer you advice on topics such: - Portfolio or project review - Body of work/Personal branding - Freelancing tips and tricks - Career development - Working abroad Languages: English & Portuguese I'm open to helping students, young professionals, and even experienced professionals who might want a fresh perspective into their practice. I'm specially interested in working with folks such as women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC and/or immigrant creatives and help them enter these spaces where they're still underrepresented. instagram.com/racheldenti racheldenti.com
