In late 2009, husband and wife team David (the tech-savvy product designer) and Rachel (the business-minded communication professional) decided to channel their expertise and mutual artistic energy into their work for VanDuzer Design & Marketing. In order to deliver the best possible quality work, they have created a network of consultants and business owners with specialties and strengths that contribute to the goals of VanDuzer Design & Marketing.

Principal, Creative Director
Rachel has a passion for great food, demonstrated by her interest in the local food movement both in her work and her home. Her vision is to partner with farms and food retailers to help them market their products in this increasingly industrialized food climate. She handles the majority of the work for all clients and organizes the work in a way that allows everyone to work in their area of expertise. In addition to her work for farms, Rachel also enjoys helping ministries with their marketing needs, including teaching first graders and running a homeschool co-op at a Christian camp. She has shared her web design and communication expertise with the FEU university student ministry in Grenoble, France as well as Eglise Grenoble Est, a church in Grenoble and Malvern Bible Chapel.
Rachel graduated with high honors from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in May 2009 with a BA in Communication Studies and minors in Public Relations and Professional Writing.
