"I love the Minted design community - such a wealth of design knowledge - it really does make everyone stronger."

- Alethea and Ruth

Rachel of Alethea and Ruth started entering Minted challenges in September 2010. Inspired by florals, fashion, and her sister, Rachel jumped right in. She has since designed many challenge winners, including first place in our 2011 holiday challenge and a recent collection of wedding suites on Minted.com. Her advice for newbies? "Explore, take risks, and design things that you really love."
