Art Director | Designer | Photographer
A former graduate of graphic design at Cal Poly, in San Luis Obispo, and originally from Santa Cruz, CA. I‘m currently based in the Bay Area, traveling to clients and making my way to Austin every few months.
I am actively looking for new opportunities as a Senior Designer with 7+ years of digital design experience. My portfolio & skillset as a designer ranges from Product Design (UX/UI), User Research, Branding, Art Direction & Photography.
I have had the opportunity to design and photograph for industry-leading brands, working with the product, marketing, and brand teams.
As of June 2023 — I was laid off, alongside 50 others from Under Armour. I worked there from November 2022 until June of 2023 as a Senior Product Designer for Under Armour, working on the Brand Experience team. Prior to working with Under Armour, I held a position at Ford Motor Company as a Senior Visual/Product Designer working in the Autonomous Vehicle department, working on industry-leading - innovative solutions for Electric & Self-Driving vehicles. In addition, I have also built my own brand — Rachel Salina Creative, worked as a Marketing Designer for T3 (Austin-based Ad Agency) on the Growth & New Business team, and served as the Lead Graphic Designer for Nordic Naturals, the #1 Fish Oil brand and leading supplement company in the US, working within the Marketing Department.
I work hard, design with purpose, and I am always looking for a new challenge. What else do I do with my time when I'm not designing?
(Good question.)
Outside of the studio, you can find me behind my camera, working out, in my kitchen cooking, or planning my next travel destination.
Enjoy and please contact me for further questions!
