I'M Rachel lopez.

GRAPHIC ARTIST, E-LEARNING DEVELOPER, DESIGNER & FUTURE TEACHER
ABOUT ME

As a Reno, Nevada local, I enjoy hiking in the Sierras and spending as much time as I can outdoors. A self proclaimed mermaid enthusiast and giraffe tamer, I enjoy bottom shelf wine, supernatural novels and pretending to be the next Chopped champion.

 

In all seriousness, I don't take life too seriously. If you're looking for a wicked logo, an invitation, or want to get silly doing a paint and sip night, then you've come to the right person.

Though I am not seeking full time employment I am always excited to take on fun side-projects. I love to hand draw, paint, and work in Illustrator. If you're interested in working together, please send me a message and let's start collaborating!

Looking forward to hearing about your next project or artistic endeavor :)
