About
Built from a love of books and the lives they help shape.
Shelfwright began with a simple idea: a personal library should feel as considered as any other part of a home or working space.
I'm Rachel — a library curator with an MLIS background and a deep affection for books as objects, tools, and companions. I work with clients across the US to build home libraries, curate office collections, and bring warmth and intelligence to hospitality spaces.
