About me

Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m passionate about making technology accessible and intuitive. I believe great design should be user-friendly and empower everyone to engage easily with technology.

With two years of design experience and guidance from an industry mentor, I focus on research-driven, inclusive design that meets real user needs.

Ms. Rachel Estafanous designed the logo for my small business. I wanted a logo that was
simple, elegant, and captured the essence of the service it provides. I expected
communicating the “feeling” I was looking for was going to be a challenge. Rachel hit the
mark on the first try. We then went through several iterations to tweak the first draft.
Rachel was cooperative, understanding, and responsive as we worked through finalizing
the design. I’m pleased with results and would work with Rachel again.
