Ceramics: @pottingaround

Editorial illustration is at the heart of Rachel’s practice. Alongside her client work, she works with ceramics, teaches at the Illustration Department of the Willem de Kooning Academy, and builds communities for illustrators through Rotterdam Illustrators—the platform you’re browsing right now, which she founded in 2017.

Originally from Barcelona, Spain, Rachel has been based in Rotterdam for many years and proudly considers it home.

Curiosity about people is a driving force in her work. She is fascinated by why people do what they do and how they behave in different situations. These observations often find their way into her illustrations, which combine thoughtful storytelling with a touch of affectionate humour.

Rachel has long been involved in strengthening Rotterdam’s creative community with different initiatives for illustrators and creatives in town.

Her clients include the Los Angeles Times, TED, Smoda–El País, de Volkskrant, Curbed, Amnesty International, Amsterdam City, the Municipality of Barcelona, and many others.
