Rachael has been my secret weapon when it comes to design.  
Her many years of professional work, her keen aesthetic sense, and her ability to put focus on what’s important at the right time have made a tremendous difference.

Thanks to Rachael, we have a valuable new app for the business that is a cornerstone to our success. I’m lucky to have found someone who is both in my corner and able to help me express my vision to the world.

Scott Whittle,
Terra CEO

Cape May NJ, USA

Rachael reworked our existing B2B tool's UX and expanded on it. The services offered are complex and there were many legacy parameters to contend with.

Rachael came up with a much improved flow, she is not afraid of questioning the status quo to get the best outcome for the user, and the outcome is a much more user friendly and scalable UX. I would happily employ Rachael again

Margaret Sliman,
Inivio Manager

Sydney, AU

Rachael is a very professional and capable UX Designer with a strong business and entrepreneurial mindset.

When she worked onsite for my client she performed what she was asked to do, to a very high standard, and left the project in a much stronger condition than when she first joined.

I can strongly recommend Rachael for any position that requires UI/IA wire-framing etc
