Hey there, I’m Cordray!

As a passionate graphic designer, photographer, and storyteller I am dedicated to bringing brands, people, and moments to life through bold visuals and creative strategy. I’m originally from Butler, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh, and a proud graduate of Clemson University, where I earned my B.S. in Graphic Communications with minors in Brand and Sports Communication. While at Clemson, I had the incredible honor of serving as a Tiger Twirler majorette in the Tiger Band for five years, an experience that shaped my love for performance, discipline, and being part of something bigger than myself. I served as captain for 3 years, learning leadership skills, and mentoring to others. That same energy drives my creative work today, whether I’m behind the camera or behind the screen. I spent the past year as the Manager of Creative for Air Force Football, where I combined my passion for design and photography with the fast-paced world of college athletics. In July, I moved back to the Upstate of South Carolina and have continued growing my own company, Cordray Rachal Photo LLC, a passion project that has become a space for me to stay inspired, connect with people, and create meaningful work. Both experiences have allowed me to grow creatively, learn from new challenges, and tell stories in ways that reflect who I am, someone who thrives on creativity, connection, and making an impact.
