About Me

Rachel Cowles

Web Designer and Developer

Design is not just what a website looks like. It’s how a user feels when they interact with it. I'm a web designer and developer who loves to create user-focused experiences that are both beautiful and engaging. I have a huge curiosity for life and always want to know not just how things work, but why. I’m committed to keeping up with design and development technologies, and love learning new things. In my free time, I’m a competitive dancer who enjoys hiking, eating breakfast foods, and playing with my Welsh Corgi Krystal.
