As he reflected on his experience, he admitted, “Yes, [the experiences] are a part of me and how I grew into the person that I am today.” He added, “I am a survivor, and if after all my adversities I can be where I am today, so can anyone. I want to pay it forward and share [my] blessings through the good, bad, and the ugly parts of my story.” He hopes to inspire others.
Professional and Cultural Influences
Rachman originally studied fashion and hospitality management in Switzerland. Interior design was not the career he planned for, but as he says, opportunities landed in his lap and he chose to follow them. “Sometimes [you have to] expect the unexpected. I never expected to meet Marc Jacobs, but one thing led to another. Marc Jacobs and his company deserve credit for allowing me to break through into interior designing.”
