I'm in that generation who grew up without technology and then watched the world jump headfirst into digital. A realist who digs through the deepest corners of my mind finding the right creative solution. A child at heart who wants to change the stigma of bad advertising. Hello, I'm Rachel DeRieu!

My biggest strength and weakness is being an overthinking perfectionist. I love letting life take my hand and lead the way, but the whole time I'm thinking about my next move and how to make the most of my time.

​

As a kid, I'd always turn nothing into something; dandelion highlighters, leaf piñatas, even gluing Christmas lights to a wire rack and declaring it as art. The greatest advice I was given growing up was, "Once you know the rules, you can learn how to break them." I've always looked toward film for inspiration, Anything Robin Williams or Rankin/Bass being my favorites.
