Rachel Paese

Rachel Paese is Design Observer’s Deputy Editor, and she loves giving curious people access to stories that change the way they see the world. It began with a major in English, and then evolved with a project that sharpened her editorial instincts the old-fashioned way: founding and leading her own multimedia magazine at the University of Kansas. After college, she carried that passion to education, helping students in Spain and Thailand think beyond their culture. Today, she brings that same spirit to Design Observer, working to connect readers with the people and ideas shaping a better future. Connect with her on LinkedIn, and ask her about her quest to sew her own wardrobe.
