I'm Rachel Rice

Creative consultant, storyteller, and photographer based in Austin, TX

For over a decade, I've helped organizations and individuals uncover the heart of their story and bring it to life through strategy, design, video, audio, and imagery. My work began in the nonprofit world—11 years across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the U.S.—and that foundation of purpose-driven storytelling shapes everything I do today.

Whether I'm consulting on creative strategy, directing a brand shoot, editing a podcast, or capturing a family's real, messy, beautiful moments, my goal is always the same: help you show up as the most authentic version of yourself.

From first hello to final delivery

Every project is different, but the rhythm stays the same. Here's what working together looks like.

1

Discovery Call

We hop on a call to talk about your vision, your challenges, and what success looks like. No pressure, just good conversation.

2

Strategy & Scope

I build a custom proposal tailored to your needs—whether that's a consulting engagement, a production package, or a photo session.

3

Create & Collaborate

This is where the magic happens. We work together through creative rounds, shoots, edits, and refinements until it feels right.

4

Deliver & Launch

You receive polished final deliverables, plus guidance on how to use them. Your story is ready to be told.

What clients are saying
