Hello, I’m Rachel Baxter, freelance graphic designer with 14+ years experience. I started my creative journey whilst studying design and communications at London College of Printing, University of Arts London. After graduating in 2006 I moved up the ranks in the world of design and marketing, starting in-house at a five-star hotel in London. Transferring within the company, I relocated to the Middle East in 2009 and lead the Cluster marketing and design team overseeing the collection of Dubai's Marriott Hotels. My last corporate role was Associate Director, Global Brand Marketing for one of the worlds leading luxury hospitality brands, One&Only Resorts - who are still one of my most loyal clients.
During my eight years in Dubai and whilst designing alongside large agencies in the Middle East, London and New York, I saw a gap in the market and decided to leave the corporate world behind. Subsequently, in 2015 I made the decision to fly solo where the past six years have proven to be the most rewarding and creative yet. Since returning back to the UK, I can finally call Poole in Dorset my forever home, alongside my partner David and our crazy cat, Marmite. Life by the sea is 100% my happy place!
Over the past 14 years of my career, I have had the pleasure of working across projects in Australia, Cape Town, China, Dallas, Dubai, Greece, London, Maldives, Mauritius, Mexico, Rwanda, Saudi and Seychelles – all of which have lead to a knowledge and understanding of design requirements for independent companies to large organisations alike.
