About Cassie

Based in Virginia Beach, designer and illustrator Cassie Rangel is best known for her colorful cityscapes highlighting each area’s most beloved landmarks, local fare and defining characteristics. Most recently, she was chosen to be a maker in the West Elm LOCAL initiative program.

When not working as an art director at an ad agency or building elaborate block castles with her two young sons, she enjoys exploring her creative culinary side by making pancake art. She documents them on her blog Pancake of the Week and as a contributing blogger for Betty Crocker.
