Quick Hit: Rachel Nolasco on Threadless!

Parsons Illustration Rising Senior Rachel Nolasco is a winner!  She was chosen by her classmates in Isabelle Dervaux‘s Junior Concepts class as the winner of a classroom competition based around the creation/design of a t-shirt design for the mega-cool and creative Threadless.  The t-shirt design was featured in a Threadless newsletter!  Rachel calls the shirt, “Mutual End” and describes it thusly: “The concept for this design is the juxtaposition of life and death and how they both exist together and are shared by every living thing.”   You can see Rachel’s design on the Threadless site here.

Congrats on your success, Rachel and luck in the future!
