Rachel is a French luthier based in Providence, Rhode Island, who spent a number of years playing music and developing architecturally designed products and furniture. She learned her luthiery under the guidance of Daniel Collins and shared wood-shops with Zach Martin and Otto D'Ambrosio.

Born and raised in Paris, France, Rachel studied Design at ESAG-Penninghen, in Paris as well as at RISD, where she was exposed to both fine arts and applied arts. Her understanding of construction through her design years as well as her knowledge of music are two strong assets forming a stable backbone to her actual art making of string instruments.
