LINK

Unpacking LINK, Part 4 of 7 🎥 Leading through chaos is one thing. Helping people find clarity in the middle of it is another. During her time at the Pentagon, Rachel helped guide hundreds of thousands through the early days of the pandemic, standing up remote systems, keeping teams connected, and making sure communication could keep moving even when everything else felt uncertain. She didn’t leave because the work was done. She left because she knew there had to be a better way to support the mission. That decision eventually led to LINK. And the mission hasn’t changed, it’s just clearer now. Have you ever made a move without knowing exactly where it would lead? #FounderStory #WeAreLINK #LINK

Unpacking LINK, Part 1 of 7 🎥 Many people ask where LINK came from, how our approach to strategy, design, and communication was shaped. So we asked Rachel Link to walk us through the story, one chapter at a time. We’re starting with where it all began: the early years. Before LINK existed, there was a brain that didn’t fit neatly in one box. From sketchbooks to systems thinking, Rachel always moved between structure and imagination. That tension didn’t just shape her leadership, it became the blueprint for how LINK works! ✍️🧠 #InformationDesign #DesignThinking #founderstory

Honoring Independence Day the LINK way—through reflection, intention, and good design. We hope everyone has a great Fourth of July. 🇺🇸
