About

Rachel Brickel is a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for creating raw imagery and metaphorical storytelling. Known for her reckless abandon to be experimental, creative risk taking, and willingness to get her hands dirty. She often always finds a way to mix practical with design, acting with guerrilla tactics. An Otis College of Art and Design Alumna, she got her start in the industry working with FX Networks, and later worked with award winning agencies such as Mocean, Elastic, and several others, including Current Studio. Rachel has worked on Emmy nominated titles for Alienist, award winning trailer graphics for Shape of Water, and her work has been featured on Promax BDA, Behance, Art of the Styleframe, Collision Awards, Tribeca, and Motionographer.

She got into art because of being inspired by the video game Sonic Adventure 2. She taught herself photoshop at 11, to create fan art of Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the bat which led to her interest in learning more skills of the creative field. "You never know what in life might inspire you."
