It’s been seven years since Rachael Taylor left her full time design job to fly solo! It was a bold & risky move & there have been highs & lows but it’s been one exciting roller coaster that Rachael is very grateful for. Rachael would like to take the time to thank you for your continued support.
“The recent years have taught me the importance of working hard & dedicating time to doing what you love, following your dreams & never giving up. I hope to continue to grow my brand & really appreciate that you are on the journey with me.
Over the past seven years it is hard to pin point every moment that I am grateful for, so here are seven of my key highlights:
1. Initially securing freelance commissions from a number of companies & having bestsellers with the likes of Tigerprint
2. Being a approached to sell outright, seeing my designs come to life on a number of products & securing licensing with several global partners
3. Launching my own product label & shop
4. Collaborating with Do What You Love to launch the groundbreaking e-course ‘The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design’ (over on our sister site Make it in Design)
5. Expanding my studio team & having that much needed support
6. Being represented by one of the top agents in the world – the Lilla Rogers Studio
7. Launching my first ever design & illustration book ’20 Ways to Draw a Doodle’ published by Quarry Books (which has recently been translated into Japanese!)
