Rachel Ignotofsky is a New York Times Best Selling author and illustrator, based in California. She grew up in New Jersey on a healthy diet of Star Trek and pudding and graduated from Tyler School of Art in 2011 with a BFA in Graphic Design. Rachel believes when you take the time to organize complex information—and then take the next step to make it beautiful with art — you can reach even the most reluctant learner. With her first book Women in Science (2016), Rachel used her art to celebrate the women who changed the world with their discoveries and inventions. This book was on the NY Times Best seller list for over 90 weeks.
Rachel has not stoped there. Her work continues to support scientific literacy and has covered all kinds of topics from computer history to backyard biology. Books by Rachel have been translated into over 24 different languages and used in schools and universities around the world.
She has been featured on the likes of Scientific American, Fast Company, PRI and PBS. Rachel’s art has been embraced by the science community and she has spoken at and partnered with institutions like NASA, The Salk Institute, The San Diego Natural History Museum, The Chicago Field Museum, The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and many more.
At her seaside home studio, sitting in her big red chair, she is working on several new books right now! She can’t wait to share them all with you!
