“Rachel is a creative force—quick-thinking, detail-obsessed, and endlessly inventive. She brings big ideas to the table and knows how to shape them into real, effective work. What sets her apart, though, is how she leads. She’s curious, collaborative, and always leveling up the team around her. And when things get messy—which they often do in this business—Rachel is the grown-up in the room. Calm, clear, and focused, she keeps projects on track without losing the spark. If you get the chance to work with her, jump at it.”

Alex SantiagoCreative Director - PureRed

“When Rachel (or Rae, as I knew her) and I worked together, she was truly the heart and soul of the group. As an Art Director, she could lead a project, organize the team, create tools and systems to keep everything on track, and drive the work to the finish line. She collaborates beautifully with others, yet she’s never afraid to roll up her sleeves and dive in. Rae fills in the blanks on any creative team, whether it’s offering a big idea, providing technical expertise, or simply being a workhorse. She does it all with the perfect balance of poise, humility, responsibility, and personality. Rae is a rare one.”

“Rae joined our design team and instantly lifted the creative and professional quality of the work we were doing. And to make that great impression even better, she jumped in on any effort wherever she was needed. Web site design? She's on it. Social Media? She's a pro. Display, custom illustration, print, motion graphics? Check, check, check, and check again. Rae was a consistent provider of excellent concepts for organic growth efforts, new biz pitches, and client campaigns. So from concepting to design to execution, she was someone we all quickly came to rely upon for a number of creative needs. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention her kind personality and sense of humor, which helped us through a bunch of agency insanity. Those qualities also informed her design aesthetic, which is sharp and even quirky, when needed. Reliable. Friendly. Talented. That's Rae. She will make any creative department better.”

“I was lucky enough to report directly to Rae on a tight-knit powerhouse of a team. After a few short months, I could tell just how lucky I was to have her as my manager. She embodies creativity and exudes professionalism alongside spunk and passion while advocating for her team when needed. She pushes for the best creative work for her clients and it shows. She's made me a better designer, that's for sure. I'm forever grateful our paths crossed and would love nothing more than to work together again in the future.”

Mamie HunterCreative Director, Copy - ITG

“I had the pleasure of working directly with Rae, and any team would be lucky to have her. She brings an infectious energy to every project, and she's fun, creative and mega engaged from start to finish. Rae has a unique ability to keep things light and casual while maintaining an unshakeable commitment to quality.

As an Art Director, Rae is both outspoken and supportive, always advocating for strong creative while lifting up her team. Whether the project is high-profile or small-scale, Rae never phones anything in — she gives every job her full attention and passion. If given the opportunity, I’d jump at the chance to work with her again.”

Jenny GomezGrowth Marketing Exec - Lucidworks

“Rae is one of those amazing Creative Director's that can get in the weeds if you need her to but can also think big picture and see a brand strategically across a landscape. Creatives like her are so hard to find and if you're lucky enough to work with Rae, you'll understand why her "whole picture thinking" is so wildly valuable.”

“Rachel's ability to illustrate the complexities of machine learning for ecommerce and knowledge management is incredibly unique and demonstrates strong versatility in illuminating value for two vastly different markets. I've had the pleasure of working with Rachel at a fast-paced, B2B software company where she led our company rebrand while supporting all marketing initiatives (Product Marketing, Demand Generation, and Customer Marketing) in captivating prospects and customers with compelling designs. Describing Rachel as a joy to work with is an understatement. From being attentive to detail, value-oriented, and exceptionally organized—Rachel Wescott is the epitome of a creative leader.”
