About Rebecca Chambers

I’ve spent most of my life working with story.

Not in the marketing sense, in the sense of paying attention;
to how people speak about what they do.
to what feels clear, and what doesn’t.
to the quiet gap between what something is and how it’s being expressed.

My background is in documentary film and media studies. I studied film at UCLA and later completed a Master’s in Media Studies at The New School, focusing on how meaning takes shape through media.

I began working with larger media companies, and over time moved into building websites and digital systems for individual businesses and people, work that is often thoughtful, nuanced, and not easily reduced.

That’s where my interest has stayed:

Helping people translate what they do into something that feels coherent, human, and alive.

I now design websites for small businesses and individuals who care about how their work is felt, not just how it’s presented.

Design Approach

I’m drawn to work that has depth, integrity, and a clear point of view.

Whether I’m designing a website or supporting a larger media project, I care about clarity, pacing, tone, and the feeling a person has when they move through what’s been created.

The goal is not just to make something look polished. It’s to make it feel true to the work it represents.

I tend to work by listening first, to what’s being said, and what isn’t.

Often the work is less about adding something new, and more about clarifying what’s already there. Simplifying structure. Adjusting tone. Making small, precise decisions that change how something is experienced.

There’s usually a point when things begin to click, where the work starts to feel like itself. That’s the point I’m interested in getting to.

A little more about Rebecca.

  • My dad was a cowboy.

    I grew up on a farm in Northern California, and spent my entire childhood on horses, long days riding in hills of Northern California, horse shows, rodeos.

    That kind of upbringing stays with you.

  • I raised my son Theo as a single mom between Los Angeles and a small island an hour and a half ferry ride off the coast of Maine.

    I wanted him to know what it feels like to live in a place where everyone knows your name.

    So I designed and built a house there, The Birdhouse Shangri-La, we called it.

    We would leave LA and spend our summers on the island.

    As soon as we got off the ferry, we’d buy him a new pair of rubber boots at The Fishermen’s Friend.

    It always felt to me that what matters most in childhood is love, safety, good boots, and good friends.

    Nature, pollywogs, and lobsters made it all that much better.

  • I’ve been a digital nomad before it was even a thing :).

    I always knew I wanted a life that was mobile, one that could hold both independence and connection at the same time.

    So I’ve built my life and work around that core truth.

  • I love building and design.

    Simple living.

    I built my own custom tiny home van. Her name is The Birdhouse Van.

    Then I built a place to park her.

    Coyote Moon Mesa, is an off-grid place on a mesa in the high desert of California.

    I built a wood-burning sauna & wood-burning bathtub under the stars.

    No one around for miles.

    Coyotes. Wildlife. Quiet.

  • I’m currently living in Europe, figuring out where I want to live most of the year. Portugal. Berlin. Spain. These are my potential sweet spots for a home base in Europe.

    I’m also currently looking at building an off-grid, overlanding rig here.

    Driving. Working. Living.

    The same way I always have always chosen to live and work, only now in Europe too.

  • I’m currently working on and launching a multimedia project called, Creatureliness; What moves a woman to say, fuck this?.

    I’ll be interviewing women all over the world, geo-mapping where they are, and the stories of their lives.

    Stories, interviews, lived experience.

    Less about answers, more about paying attention to stories.
