About

Rachel Watson/The Budget Book Artist/Creative Butterfly Design

So, a little about me. I, officially, started down the path of graphic design in 2014. Sometimes I feel a little late in the game having been a ‘mature’ student, but it was worth every step. 

Even before I took my first class I knew that I wanted to work with books. Paper has been a passion of mine for a long time. When I learned about how book designers work and compared it with my own design style I knew this was an area that I had to explore further in my practice. 

I am here, now, putting my words to screen, to share my passion for the world of book arts. To help others explore this world, even if it is for a little while, in their homes. To teach that you don’t have to have a fancy studio, endless amounts of money for supplies, or have taken advanced origami classes. That we can all share in the world of art.
