About
A dyslexic innovator with a different looking glass on the world.
Rachael Pereira is a founder, brand architect, and communications executive whose career runs from boutique clothing stores in St. Thomas and Barbados to the NASDAQ bell. Trained in fashion design (Bauder College, Atlanta), she has spent two decades translating complex ventures — AI platforms, telecoms, sustainable-materials science — into brands people believe in.
As co-founder and creative director of Alfi, Inc. she owned the complete identity of an AI computer-vision platform from first sketch through a $50M NASDAQ IPO. She designed the Talia Tarrah dancing-shoe line for Ralph Lauren, produced complete garment lines for Front Row Uniforms and Lemmi of Germany, and wrote and designed Fortune magazine features for Danimer Scientific and BASF.
Her dyslexia isn't a footnote — it's the engine. It is the reason her work looks like nobody else's.

Advocacy · Since 2005
Fantastic Oceans
Rachael founded Fantastic Oceans to fight plastic pollution and to teach children conscious consumptionthrough creative programs. She wrote and designed a Fortune magazine centerfold for the cause and sponsored a journey retracing Marco Polo's route from Italy — exposing the reach of plastic pollution across borders and beyond corporate narratives.
“The ocean doesn't need our sympathy. It needs our choices — one conscious purchase, one child taught to see, one habit at a time.”

La Dolce Vita
Two little Italians run this maison.
Rachael calls animals her little children — angels sent to keep us happy — and none more so than her two toy poodles, found in Italy and brought home to Miami Beach. Each carries a separate champion bloodline; both carry the household.
Fendi Lucritizia Florentino Coco
The apricot. Named for two fashion houses and a Florentine mood, Fendi accepts sunglasses, bows, and compliments as her birthright — resident muse and toughest critic at the studio.
Cristo Maximus Lou Anzo de Medici
The black. A name with a Medici flourish and a temperament to match — solemn, watchful, and utterly convinced that every stick in Miami Beach is his by decree.
