the heart behind the design
Because every invitation tells a story…
At the heart of every wedding is a story—a love story that deserves to be celebrated and cherished. I’m Raquel, the designer behind Rockwell Studio, and I’ve been crafting bespoke designs for over 10 years with one goal in mind: to create beautiful, meaningful experiences that capture the essence of your love and vision.
My passion lies in the details—the little touches that make a wedding day unforgettable. From the texture of handcrafted paper to the elegance of letterpress, I believe that every element of your invitation suite should reflect the uniqueness of your celebration. I pour my heart into each project, ensuring that your invitations are not just an announcement, but a glimpse into the magic of your day.
Design has always been my language. Whether it's typography, color, or the tactile feel of a perfectly printed piece, I’ve spent years perfecting the art of bringing a couple’s story to life through design. My journey as a designer has been shaped by a love for creativity, an eye for detail, and a deep desire to make meaningful connections through my work.
I believe in the power of personalization. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and your invitations should reflect that. I take the time to understand your unique love story, your wedding style, and your vision for the day, ensuring that each detail is thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Whether you’re dreaming of something romantic and timeless, modern and minimalist, or whimsical and playful, I’ll work with you to create something that feels just right.
When I’m not designing, you can find me exploring the outdoors, experimenting with new printmaking techniques, or collecting beautiful paper goods from around the world. I’m constantly inspired by the world around me, and I bring that inspiration into every project I take on.
If you’re ready to bring your wedding vision to life, I’d love to collaborate with you. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

My process — from vision to keepsake.
Let’s get to know each other
The first step is all about you! We’ll chat about your wedding style, your vision, and what makes your celebration unique. I’ll also learn about your timeline to ensure everything’s ready for your RSVP date and your big day—while staying within your budget. Together, we’ll brainstorm all the special touches that will make your invitations truly unforgettable.
Designing your invitation
Once I have a sense of your style and vision, I’ll create a draft of your main wedding invitation. We’ll go through it together, tweaking until we land on a design that feels perfect for you.
Bringing it all together
With the final design locked in, I’ll apply the style, colors, and illustrative elements consistently across your full invitation suite—RSVP cards, rehearsal dinner invites, envelopes, and more. Every piece will feel cohesive, while still maintaining its own unique flair.
Printing & Delivery
I’ll coordinate the printing of your invitation suite, ensuring it’s delivered to your doorstep on time for you to send to your loved ones. If you’d like, I also offer assembly, stamping, and mailing services for an additional fee.
Sending the Invitations with Care
With your invitations ready, we’ll take the next step—sending them out to your loved ones. Whether you’re handling it yourself or I’m assisting with assembly and mailing, this is the final piece of the puzzle. It’s the moment your guests begin to share in the excitement of your big day, and the journey toward your wedding truly begins.
Cherish the Moment
Once everything is in place, you’ll have a beautiful, personalized keepsake that you and your guests will treasure. Your invitations will be a reflection of your love and the perfect start to your wedding journey.
