I'm chemically addicted to having a good time. Committed to the mirror selfie aesthetic. A slave to The Little Treat. 

I geek out on all things culture: music, cinema, modern art, cuisine, travel... the list goes on. Working with artists, musicians—really creatives in general—has been my mission since high school. 

Now, I design brands and websites for creatives, community builders, and lifestyle entrepreneurs.

I geek out on all things culture: music, cinema, modern art, cuisine, travel... the list goes on. Working with artists, musicians—really creatives in general—has been my mission since high school. 

Now, I design brands and websites for artists, creatives, and community builders. 

The Little Treat. 

I'm rae

I began my career in entertainment and performing arts marketing, where I had my first web design projects. I was surrounded by talent and inspiration but in a corporate environment that stifled my creativity and growth. I was neglecting myself in more ways than one. So I quit.

I wanted to do web design full time. Fast forward one year and I'd finished a user experience design bootcamp, landed my first clients, and taken a transformative trip to Amsterdam. 

On that trip, it became clear that I needed to take another, bigger leap of faith and invest in myself as an independent designer. So that I could do what I find most fulfilling—blend my creativity, aesthetic discipline, and business acumen together and in turn help the talented people around me make a living from their passions. 

That’s how Raedio Design came to be. 

And now, I've moved my life and my business to the Netherlands and spend my time reading in parks, enjoying Fika in cafes, and building websites and brands that work harder for you than your #1 hype girl. 

You've made it this far, so I know you're looking for something fresh and, dare I say, juicy. Are you ready?

Let's do this!

My Story

I am unabashedly myself

I stay true to who I am: my sense of humor, my lack of shame, my goofiness, my vulnerability, my unwavering openness. 

I think those are some of my best qualities and I know they’re what make or break whether people like me and want to work with me. Always for the best :)

Candor

life is not a
zero-sum game

We can all win. And that starts with supporting the people around us, cheering them on, rooting for their success just as much as our own. 

This means promoting brands and creatives I admire, connecting aligned founders/friends for collaborations, and sharing the success stories of clients, friends, and colleagues. 

Building Community

it might be ironic because i'm 6'2

...but growth is a core tenet of my life.

There is always something new to learn, a kernel of wisdom to receive, perspective on another's experience to gain...

So far the most important thing I've learned is to be generous—with your love, your kindness, and your compassion.

building community

Since I was little, my favorite moments have been the still, serene ones. There is an overwhelming sense of presence and gratitude. La Vie en Rose.

It's taking on the perspective of a lucky little alien who has just landed on earth and has the pleasure of experiencing our world anew—in awe of all of the sweetness, the beauty, and even of the pain.
