You can call me “Rach” if you want to–my pronouns are she/they, please and thank you. If you’re new here, I love you already. There are no caveats to that statement.

I’m a loving, curious, thoughtful lil weirdo doing their best to make beautiful things and love people well–my purpose. However I can make that happen, and I’m there.

MFing things I keep on me: Diet Coke and/or my other beloved, Fresca; my well-traveled water bottle; a small kaleidoscope because you never know when you might need more whimsy; a custom Swiss Army knife my brother got me for Christmas many moons ago; a prism or two; yeah, a camera or two too; my gorgeous brain meds; a big leaking soppy heart; a notebook and pen; and the ultimate desire to commit to nearly every bit.

MFing things I’d keep on me if I had enough pockets: all dogs (particularly mine); a bottle of A1 steak sauce and also a good spicy salsa dispenser; bubbles; Paris; Kate McKinnon; a small cabin in South Fork, Colorado; world peace; a mini-fridge for my diet cokes and frescas; a few rainbows; tamales; a hologram of Andrea Gibson who can act as my personal life guide; maybe a nice marg; the milky way; every book of poetry; extra Aldi quarters; extra food and clothes and water for our unhoused neighbors; extra middle fingers for nazis.

I believe this wild and precious life is too unpredictable to play small. I want to touch and taste and create as much as possible while I’m here. Get my hands dirty. Play. Make. Build. Conjure up some magic and memorialize your love stories.

Together, you and I will make some sort of a whole new world. We’ll dream and think and bring new things to life. Celebrating humanity and love and beauty just because we can. It’ll be a collaboration in trust and community, of art and spirit. What we make together will feel like a handwritten love letter to your future and to your past. 

I’m in the memory-making business, I suppose. And it’d be an honor and a half (at least!) to help your best days and moments speak in the languages they’re meant to. For whatever moment you’re celebrating and however I can help, consider me yours.
