Hi, I’m Rachel Curry (like the food).
I was raised on a healthy mix of Judy Blume novels, high-concept action movies, and MTV.
At some point, the Venn diagram of those things formed my personality.
Before advertising, I spent a few years working in entertainment, a.k.a. “Hollywood,” where I helped breathe life into film and television projects at every phase of development and production.
Advertising is way more fun.
When I’m not writing I’m usually rollerskating, looking at the moon, or vacuuming dog hair off my couch.

—> I named this Terry Crews hangout spot
