Fresh out of university with a design degree, Rachel didn’t apply with a CV. Instead, she called someone she knew in the industry: Blam Digital CEO Grant. 

She asked Grant for advice, not a job. But ended up doing two weeks work experience. That led to helping out at a franchise expo and eventually a full-time role at Blam Digital.

“I literally just wanted to pick his brains about what I’d need to do to break into the industry. He took a chance on me.”

What’s a typical day like for you?

Rachel starts every day with a team huddle to discuss the priorities for that day. Next, she gets on with a mix of design, client meetings, campaign work, admin, and stats. 

Her calendar is planned in 15-minute increments to stay on top of everything.

“I break down my day into tiny chunks. It helps me avoid overwhelm and stay focused. Also, I can’t start without an iced latte, even in winter.”

What do you enjoy most about your role?

Rachel loves variety as the spice of life. The freedom to switch between creative projects and help shape others’ design work keeps things fresh.

“I love that every project brings a new design style. I don’t have to stick to the same brand rules every day. It keeps my brain alive.”

She’s also started training and mentoring newer staff in graphic design. Rachel has discovered a natural talent for this.

What are your weekly habits at Blam?

Rachel likes to keep the office vibe joyful and light. She regularly offers to pick up coffees, and checks in on everyone. 



Rachel might not be the official office mum, but she’s definitely the fun one. She brings a spark to the working day.

“I just try to bring a bit of joy to the office. Make people laugh. Offer a coffee. Keep it human.”

How do you keep learning and developing?

Rachel’s social media is curated for growth. Her feeds are full of graphic design, email marketing, and branding insights. 



She’s learning every day from design influencers and marketers around the world.

What do you think of AI in design and marketing?

Rachel views AI as a time-saving tool that enhances her creativity. She uses it to generate content ideas, create quick mock-ups, and brainstorm visuals.

However, the design work is still all her own.

“AI takes care of the annoying bits so I can focus on what I’m good at. It helps me move quicker and finish full projects on my own.”

What do you love outside of work?

When she’s not designing, Rachel loves spending time by the sea. She enjoys weekends at her family’s holiday home in Wales, where she loves spending time on the beach and whizzing around on speedboats.

Rachel is also a huge fan of Italian food. She is a pasta enthusiast, always dreaming of her next delicious dish. Whether it is tagliatelle, spaghetti or other marvellous dishes, Rachel is ready with a glass of vino. Our Rachel goes from Web and Marketing Exec in the week to speedboat Bond girl on the weekends.

What advice would you give to someone thinking of joining Blam?

Rachel’s advice to prospective Partners is simple:

• Speak to partners.
• Listen to the coaching.
• Show up consistently.

“Most people don’t follow through in life. If you stick with it, keep showing up, and follow the process, you’ll go further than you think.”

The Blam Team would like to wish Rachel the best of luck as she sets off on a tour of the world this autumn. She will be dearly missed. We will be thinking of you on your speedboats eating pasta. Lol.
