hiiii, i’m rachel ☻

✿ Minnesotan born and raised, I love living in the metro area with my fiancé and our three cats.
✿ Compulsively creative, I’m always drawing.
✿ Earned a BFA from the U of MN(TC) in 2019.
✿ Full-time tattoo artist since March of 2021.
Past jobs: studio + freelance portrait photographer, assistant wedding videographer, graphic designer, ice cream scoop-er, and cookie baker, among other less interesting gigs...
✿Co-owner of Patchwork Studio in Minneapolis, alongside Sean (@pokeapolis). we also work with Peter (@peterharren) at the studio, and are currently teaching Heather (@ummmheather) to tattoo.
✿Interests: arts + crafts, playing Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, spending time outside, interior decorating, yoga, antiquing + thrifting, reading, kitty-wrangling, and gardening :)

Illustration has been a steady passion of mine throughout my life, and I believe using my creativity in order to connect with myself and others (and help others connect with themselves) is my purpose.

I look forward to potentially working with you!
Thanks for stoppin’ by.
