About

HOWDY!


I'm Rachel Hamm, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator from Denton, TX. I began my career in commercial arts as an Illustrator for Armadillo Ale Works creating can designs, packaging design, merchandise and a taproom mural. Following my time at Armadillo, I spent nearly three years on the creative team at Six Stitch Apparel, a merchandising and apparel company. While there, I was tasked with managing all creative projects such as merch designs, art proofs, mock ups, color separations for screen printing, laser engraving projects, over seeing marketing and social media and custom merch lines for clients including MercyMe, Big Daddy Weave, TAYA, Lorrie Morgan, and upcoming CCM artist Luke Bower, Emerson Day and Megan Woods. During this time, I maintained personal clients, including Cowboy Cupid Nails, Alpha Bear Strength & Conditioning, and Third & Sage doing creative projects, which included logo design, brand design and social media design.

I love working with people and thrive in a team setting. I like to uplift and encourage those around me with humor and intentional conversation. I believe that creating meaningful relationships in the workplace is the key to a successful team. I aim to light up any room I walk into and leave others around me feeling motivated.

As an 8th-generation Texan and proud Dentonite, I am passionate about my home state and city. Denton has my heart and allows my creativity to flourish. My community involvement has inspired countless creative projects and opened doors to use my skill set across many mediums. When not creating for work, I fill my time with puzzles, illustrations, fiber projects, time with my loved ones and playing with my pup, Rip!
