About me:


Que pasa?
My name is Raquel,
and I own & operate alphabet city design + marketing. At alphabet city design + marketing, our motto is fresh, clean, fast-forward design. We do it all - flyers, business cards, websites, calendars, evites, newsletters, book covers, banners, t shirts & much more! I love making the world a more beautiful place and it's my JOB to rid the world of bad design! I take bad design personally!

I'm also a bad ass promoter with a bad ass promotion and street team and we do many other services such as artist booking, event planning, printing/screenprinting/website hosting and press release/bio/proposal writing & pitching!

I live in NYC and wouldn't live anywhere else. I grew up in Miami and was born in Cuba. My background is in hip-hop promotions - I was a street promoter then from 1991 - 1996 in Miami known then as PAYBACK PROMOTIONS (where my people at? holla!) Feel free to view my bio to view that epitaph of my life here. I started alphabet city design + marketing in 1996 when I moved to NYC and didn't care for a label job. Now we are the acclaimed designers and programmers as well as marketing geniuses for SUPERSTAR house music and hip hop record labels, SUPERSTAR DJs and SUPERSTAR producers. We also promote events, products and artists, put on events and plan events for clients and develop artists and businesses. I went to school for broadcasting, but decided on design in my late 20's. I taught myself everything I know and I work hard, hustle hard and am always on the grind. I believe that designers are born, not made. .. I've worn many hats in the industry - journalist, designer, manager/booking agent, record store personnel, street team, promoter, zulu nation staff, worked several positions in radio.

I am also a partner in several businesses.

Some words that describe me as a person: eclectic, swanky, lavish, humble, driven, romantic, assertive, ambitious, clean freak, caring, witty, thoughtful, diverse, well-rounded, sarcastic, humorous, street-smart. I like people who walk the walk, not talk the talk! I don't settle or care for those who settle - I like progress. Show and prove! Bendicion!

I love to network, especially amongst the music and design industries. I like those who make it happen, shine in the darkest light, keep it real have wit and humor and keep their word. If we can network, do business, become friends, by all means, let's talk.
