Rachel Meinerding

Rachel’s background lies in costume for film production. After working on several big budget movies in London such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The First Avenger, World War Z and the Harry Potter franchise she relocated to California. During her time in the costume department she worked closely with concept artists and has experienced first-hand the involvement these individuals have in the movie making process.

In addition to being the Co-Founder and Producer at Concept Art Association, she is working as a Creative Recruiter for 9B Collective and as a talent manager for her husband Ryan Meinerding, who is a veteran concept artist in the film industry and Head of Visual Development at Marvel Studios. She oversees the marketing and branding for Ryan and organizes his speaking engagements and convention appearances around the world. Being involved in raising the profile on concept artists and introducing them to a wider audience is a topic very close to her heart.
