ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is RACHEL AHAVA (Bidelspacher/Birnbaum). I've been an Artist, Creative and Dreamer my entire life.
My 25+ years of professional Graphic Design experience has included: 7 years as Senior Graphic Designer at PRIMEDIA MAGAZINE GROUP where I worked on design and layout of over 35 national enthusiast magazines. 8 Years as Graphic Designer/Co-Owner of AVIDITY GRAPHICS, a full service design team where I served as Art Director of Kitplanes Magazine and Women Connect Magazine as well as designed countless projects in all print-related areas. 4 years as Senior Graphic Designer at MESSIAH UNIVERSITY PRESS, designing everything from posters, brochures, programs, displays, books, wedding projects, flyers, postcards, ads, etc. for college organizations, faculty and general public. Currently serving as the Graphic Designer at JFS of Atlantic & Cape May Counties, a local nonprofit in Margate NJ.
As a freelance Graphic Designer, I have worked with many clients such as: AMERICAN ICON BREWERY, a destination brewery in Vero Beach, Florida where I was responsible for designing everything from posters to menus to merchandise to craft beer labels to vehicle wraps. ABSECON LIGHTHOUSE in Atlantic City where I was honored to design all the memorial pieces for beloved Lightkeeper Buddy Grover, including the Buddy's Cocktail Club logo as well as a custom oversized brochure for The George Buddy Grover III Memorial Fund. I was also the designer behind all the original branding for SEA GODDESS HEALING ARTS in Atlantic City New Jersey.
I am half of the singer-songwriter duo LOST LINDSAY, with David Lindsay Garrison, where aside from singing and cowriting, I handle all visual aspects including all graphic design as well as directing, filming and editing all music videos and YouTube content.
Past honors include WINNER of the Atlantic City 150 Years Logo Competition in 2004.
I also enjoy creating mixed media artisan pendants from crystals, natural gemstones, shells and polymer clay. Each inspired handcrafted piece is infused with love (Ahava). Limited pieces available. Contact me directly.
