About

Hi there – Thanks for coming to my page! I’m Rachel Mendelson, and I’m currently a Features Photo Editor at The Wall Street Journal, prior to which I was an Associate Graphic Designer at Insider and Insider’s first-ever fellow with the NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists.

I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and double minors in Psychology and Gender & Sexuality Studies. 

Now, I merge my interests in graphic design, journalism, and photography to create compelling, conceptual imagery for digital publications. Adept in many Adobe CC applications, I constantly strive to improve on past work and exercise my creativity in new and innovative ways.
