Hi, I'm Rachel Mak, a creative and detail-oriented designer with a decade of experience across digital and print design, UI/UX, front-end development, and branding. I collaborate with diverse teams and clients across telecommunications, retail, arts, and entertainment sectors, translating ideas into visually impactful experiences. I thrive on turning complex briefs into intuitive, visually engaging solutions that align with brand and user needs. Graduating with honours in Communication Design from Parsons The New School for Design, I fuse strong conceptual thinking with hands-on production. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, I craft responsive websites, signage, and environmental graphics, while contributing to front-end development and photography direction. I enjoy presenting concepts to stakeholders and delivering on-brand results that resonate with users.
