digital marketing specialist
Rachel Petke
Designer and artist with a suitcase full of skills; creative design, copywriting, and a walking spell-checker. The person you'd most want on your trivia team or creating the soundtrack to your day.
The newest member of DMS, I bring my knowledge and love of art and design to the table. A graduate of Seton Hall University, my artistic journey has gone down several different paths before making it to The Walker Group. Seeing the process through from first drafts to pressing 'publish' is one of the most satisfying parts of being on this team.
I collaborate with the DMS Team and internal marketing at The Walker Group on a wide array of projects. Though our team is small, our dedication to our clients is unmatched. Working to breathe life into these websites and campaigns reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite shows:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed
citizens can change the world." - President Bartlet, The West Wing
When I'm not creating for my day job, you can find me over on Etsy selling my stickers and friendship bracelets. (Yes, I went to The Eras Tour) Need a playlist for your next party? What about a mood board for your wedding or dream home? Don't mind me, I'm scrolling and pinning away on Pinterest, curating my dream life. I believe that art encompasses all forms; music, fashion, architecture, and pop culture.
"There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see."

Four Fun Facts
Certified Swiftie
I have been a fan of Taylor Swift since her early days, I went to the Reputation tour in 2018 and this autumn I was lucky enough to get tickets for The Eras Tour in Miami. It was an experience like no other!
Now Playing:
I bring the noise in a literal sense; whatever the activity is, I have a playlist. Whether it's working from home or a road trip to the world's largest ball of twine, I've created the most perfect score.

Going to college in New Jersey opened my eyes and heart to the most insane and loyal fanbase in the NFL; the Philadelphia Eagles. Pictured here with my bestie in Philadelphia last fall.
Etsy shop
During the first few months of the 2020 pandemic, I felt lost. I channeled my frustration, boredom, and cabin fever into creating artwork for my friends and family. I had purchased a Cricut Machine in late February 2020 unsure of how often it would be used, and once the lockdowns were announced, I cracked open the box and was off to the races!
After months of trial and error, learning tips and tricks from strangers on various crafting forums, Pinterest, and YouTube, I started an Etsy Shop. The first item purchased from my store was a sticker of a lemon. Since then I have completed over 1,100 orders, sending items to customers from 48 out of 50 states and Canada. My latest sales have mostly been friendship bracelets for Taylor Swift fans (see below). They were my most time-consuming project but incredibly worth it!
