graphic design, creative thinking, problem solving

Jessie Rauch is a multitalented graphic designer, and creative thinker. She’s passionate about the design process and in finding solutions to problems — whatever form they may take.

She is well experienced in the development of imaging, typographic and branding systems, and in translating visual concepts across a variety of media: print, motion, performance, interactive, web.

Jessie’s nine years of professional experience includes positions at multinational design agencies: Razorfish, and USWeb/CKS; and work for clients such as Clinique and M·A·C Cosmetics.

Her personal work combines depth and wit to create ironic commentary on politics and pop culture. She has an active interest in design history, and wrote her master's thesis on graphic design satire.

Jessie holds an MFA in graphic design from the Rhode Island
School of Design, and a BA in computer science from Smith College.

She lives in Providence, Rhode Island.

Karaoke Convention ‘08 was a participatory project by multimedia artist Daniel Peltz. The project mashed-up political speeches with karaoke performances, and was presented as part of the Dialog:City series of events that took place in Denver during the Democratic National Convention in August of 2008.

I designed the logo and website by referencing retro political signage, a grassroots DIY aesthetic, and the feel of a local neighborhood dive bar.

The logo system was also extended for use on lawn-signs, buttons, postcards and t-shirts. (Photography forthcoming.)
