Hello.

My name is Rachel Renaud, and I’m a graphic designer based in Chicago.☺

I create bold, thoughtful designs that communicate with purpose and bring ideas to life. My work spans digital, print, environmental, and multimedia platforms, with experience in brand identity, publication design, marketing campaigns, advertising, motion graphics, illustration, and event design.

I enjoy collaborating with teams to turn strategy into visually compelling work—whether that’s building a brand, developing a campaign, or crafting polished marketing and presentation materials that connect and make an impact.
