Curriculum Vitae
Rachel Goldman
I was born a city girl, with my earliest memories rooted in Charlestown, Boston, brick sidewalks, narrow streets, and a skyline that always felt just within reach. Eventually, life, or more accurately, my parents, brought me to Weston, Massachusetts: a quiet, suburban town where the nights were still, the stars stretched endlessly overhead, and time moved a little slower. It was there I learned quiet. It was there I learned what it meant to want more.
A few years ago, I followed that craving to New York City and enrolled at The New School to study psychology, drawn by a lifelong curiosity about the inner world of others. What makes people tick? What softens us, what scars us, what stories do we carry without even realizing it? I’ve always been the one asking “why”, not to fix, just to understand.
Now that I’ve graduated, I’m somewhere in the middle, not quite who I was, not yet who I’ll be, navigating the quiet transformation of becoming. I’m currently building a creative portfolio that lives at the intersection of mind and moodboard: events I’ve imagined, brands I admire, visuals I dream up, and thoughts I need to write down before they disappear.
This site is a reflection of both sides of me: the girl who highlights research articles on attachment theory and the girl who builds moodboards on Pinterest like they’re storyboards for a life she hasn’t lived… Yet. It’s where visual storytelling and emotional depth sit at the same table, lit by soft morning light and a sense of something just beginning while trading secrets over torn out magazine pages and half scribbled notes.
It’s in between: refined but undone. Linen napkins, clean lines, silk worn like second skin. Pages filled with half formed thoughts. East Coast roots, and a restless mind.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, a place for curiosity, creativity, connection, and maybe a little bit of chaos. I’m still figuring it out, but honestly, who isn’t?
