I’m Rachel, a Cartoonist, Book Designer, and Arts Educator in Vermont. I hold an MFA in Applied Cartooning from the Center for Cartoon Studies, where I teach publication design, and a BFA in Illustration from the Ringling College of Art + Design.

I have a passion for all things fun, silly, and fanciful; making work that’s exciting both inside and out! I make comics inspired by my life, aesthetic obsessions, and queerness. Commonly, I may be seen drawing fruit, sharks, and the occasional dairy product.

In 2023, Violet Kitchen and I co-founded Go Press Girl! An indie comics publisher of eccentric, experimental, and heartfelt work that would otherwise struggle to find a home.

For work inquiries please contact my agent, Kurestin Armada at Root Literary | kurestin@rootliterary.com

I am available for comics and design projects and teaching opportunities.
