Our principal's bio is below:

Founder of alphabet city design + marketing, Raquel R. Sanchez has been on the designing front lines for years. Her designs have been hailed as “clean, fresh, and wonderfully unique” by such global clients as: Sfere Recordings, Cablevision, and Universal Zulu Nation. It is no wonder that alphabet city design + marketing has become a primary consideration for a wide range of businesses, including record labels, corporations, break dancing crews, party organizations, and respected artists in the community and beyond.

Sanchez began her climb up the creative ladder via promoting hip-hop music in Miami in 1991. Her work with Tommy Boy, Warner Brothers, Priority and others have garnered her gold and platinum plaques for her extensive work and invaluable creative input. Her reputation as Miami’s #1 promoter quickly spread and resulted in the success of her own promotions business that spanned five years and included consulting on various projects for the above-mentioned companies, as well as A&M, Loud, Geffen, and others. Promoting for these companies, Sanchez also taught herself various ways to add exposure and value to her clients, including creating flyers, writing articles and bios, building web sites, writing business reports, and strategizing over marketing concepts and ideas. She’s worn many hats-manager to booking agent to creative consultant to writer and more.

Her kudos in the promotions arena was only the beginning for this multi-talented entrepreneur. While in college, for example, Sanchez majored in Broadcasting and became the music and programming director at her college’s radio station. Having a strong affinity towards all music, specifically hip-hop and house music, the radio station position became a natural fit and subsequent progression in Sanchez’s development as a promoter, writer, music lover, and designer.

Ironically though, her creative origins began with artistry and not promotions. At the age of six, Sanchez began drawing and has been painting for as long as she can remember. Born in Cuba, and raised in Spain and Miami, Raquel used elements from her community to inspire her paintings and designs. Interestingly enough, alphabet city design + marketing did not take shape until 1996 when Sanchez moved to New York City to pursue non-promotional interests. When asked what her thoughts are on her vast creative talents, she simply says, “Designers are born, not made.”

Since her move from Miami to New York City, Raquel has built an ever-growing client base that is second to none. Her continuous objective for alphabet city design + marketing is to apply her self-discipline, work ethics, and technique into future projects. She has built a personal portfolio that has included brochures, posters, corporate identities, presentations, flyers, business cards, calendars, album covers, record labels and stickers, and several media-rich websites.

Raquel’s artwork has appeared in Big Daddy Magazine (UK), The Ave Magazine, The Source, and Dime Magazine. With clients such as Long Branch, NJ, DJ Kay Slay and so many others, Sanchez hopes to become “the extraordinary and magnificent designer that everybody comes to.” Her additional aspirations include producing house and hip-hop music, owning the largest design studio in the world, and becoming an expert at 3D modeling. It is no doubt that her dreams are already coming true and the possibilities for her and alphabet city design + marketing are limitless.

Y'all should definitely hit up our sista Raquel, her company does great work and and you won't be disapointed. In fact she needs to help ressurect our website right about now, lol.
