Media & Speaking

Want me to deliver a powerful talk at your event, or chat with you on your podcast?

I love nothing more than helping empower other creative business owners to discover their superpowers, harness what make them unique + special, and figure out the next best steps to take.

I believe in educating others on the power of incredible design and showing people how they can make a difference in their own business through intentional, values-led branding.

"Rachel, your talks never cease to inspire and motivate me. They’re always a helpful reminder that it’s ok—even wonderful—to be who we are and to embrace the things that make us different. I love the superhero theme you ran with for a while, and think back to those talks whenever I feel a little deflated. Thank you."

- Dan Eden

Here are some of my favourite topics to chat about:

Why values-led design + intentional branding is the future of business.

How to discover your unique superpowers, what makes you unique, and how to harness that in your visual brand.

Everything brand strategy:how to create intentional, aligned strategies that are all about long-term benefits and no short-term gains.

Chronic illness in business:what it means to be a creative with a chronic illness; running your own business alongside chronic illness
