Rachel Efruss
Rachel is a designer in New York City.
About
I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and received a BFA in Design from The University of Texas School of Design and Creative Technologies. My upbringing in Austin provided me with an appreciation for live music, art, and nature that continues to inspire my work today.
My work has displayed at venues and events including Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, The Juilliard School, New York Fashion Week, Carnegie Hall, Austin City Limits at the Moody Theater, Moontower Comedy Festival, KVRX Fest, and the Texas Tribune Festival.
My printed design work is in the research libraries of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Experimental Television Center, Media Archaeology Lab, Mono No Aware, Vtape, and Signal Culture.
I also create experimental video art, multimedia installations, and live visual performances. My short films have screened internationally at galleries and theaters including Anthology Film Archives (New York, NY), UnionDocs (Ridgewood, NY), Millennium Film Workshop (Brooklyn, NY), dadaLab (Austin, TX), Sweet Void Cinema (Chicago, IL), Alicante Museum of Contemporary Art (Alicante, Spain), The Cinematheque (Vancouver, Canada), and The Cinema Museum (London, UK). I teach art workshops and help organize DIY events in NYC to support accessible arts education, community building, and creative experimentation. View my artist CV here.
