Rachel Weisel

With a Bachelor of Arts in Fine and Studio Arts from Yeshiva University, I have built a diverse career blending creativity and strategic product management. My journey includes leading product development at WelcomeWare, where I crafted a B2B live-streaming platform for healthcare, and directing product management at Encantos, launching an EdTech platform in just eight months. At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I managed a team to create a product line that merged art with commerce, enhancing customer experiences and supporting the museum's mission. Currently, I am on a career break, focusing on personal goals. I've grown my social media presence to over 300K followers with @happy_arranging, secured a book deal, and am writing a flower-arranging cookbook. This period also includes art classes at the Art Students League of New York and cultural explorations, enriching my creative practice and community engagement.
