With a background that bridges construction, architectural design, landscape architecture, and graphic communication, Rachel brings a layered perspective to every project. Holding a Bachelor's in Landscape Architecture and a Master's in Architecture from The Ohio State University, she launched LAYR Design Services, LLC in April 2025 in response to shifting economic tides—choosing to carve her own path and make high-quality design more accessible to all.

At LAYR, we specialize in a wide range of creative services—from architectural and landscape design to drone imagery, and graphic design. Whether it's a large-scale landscape concept or a one-time real estate photography shoot, our flexible services are tailored to meet each client's unique goals and budget. We pride ourselves on being approachable, down-to-earth, and flexible—keeping communication clear, timely, and honest every step of the way.

The name LAYR reflects our design philosophy: that great design is built from the ground up—beginning with the grounded functionality of landscape, extending to the structure and form of architecture, and elevated through advanced visualization tools like drone imagery and AI rendering. In a rapidly evolving digital and ecological landscape, staying ahead means staying curious. We are constantly evolving and committed to continued learning, embracing emerging tools that allow us to deliver smarter, more creative, and more sustainable outcomes. That mindset drives LAYR to constantly adapt, explore, and integrate new tools that enhance creativity, precision, and sustainability.

Above all, LAYR Design Services operates with respect, transparency, and a commitment to integrity. Our company values reflect a mission to provide democratic design—creative services that are not only high-quality, but are also accessible and affordable to all, catered to each client. 

At LAYR, we don’t just design spaces—we build lasting relationships and thoughtful solutions, one layer at a time.
