Rachel Paese

Rachel Paese is Design Observer’s Associate Editor. A recent graduate from The University of Kansas, where she earned a BA in English, Rachel honed her editing skills the old-fashioned way: by founding and leading her own multimedia magazine on campus. This, combined with her stint as a marketing intern at a community arts center, prepared her for her current role managing DO’s contributor network and social media content. Now wandering the cobblestone streets of Spain as a secondary English teacher, Rachel continues to explore how language, design, and storytelling help us make sense of the world — and find our place in it.
