Hi it’s me, Rachael Larson

After a series of fruitful event collaborations, characterized by a distinct style, a robust business partnership emerged with a local event space. As the creative director and proprietor of these branded events, I spearheaded the production and styling of 11 fashion shows and various smaller events and campaigns. It was within this journey that I carved a distinct brand focused on a sensory-stimulating aesthetic, adopting the name 'The Medium Agency' to represent my work, as I began to be sought out for individual projects. My specialty quickly became all encompassing project management as I guided each event from inception to its final conclusion. These events serve as a platform to exhibit art across diverse mediums, all while championing various philanthropic causes, including support for Children’s Inn, Lutheran Social Services, Art Invasionz Inc, and numerous conservation efforts.
