Rachel Barrera has been in the custom soft furnishings industry, encompassing
design fabrication and installation for more than 14 years. From 2000 to 2016 she owned
Shorty’s Window, designing and fabricating window treatments primarily for
retail clients.

Her talent can not only be viewed through her extensive client portfolio, but is
