In partnership with writer and strategist Adam Eeuwens, who also is her husband, Rebeca Méndez formed Rebeca Méndez Communication Design (RMCD), a multidisciplinary studio focused on research and design for art, architecture, and other cultural clients as well as for nonprofit organizations, with practice in various areas of design, including brand identity strategy and design, architectural immersive spaces, interface design, wayfinding systems, experience design, advertising, and book design.

RMCD’s clients include The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Guggenheim Berlin; The Getty Museum; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The firm recently completed a wayfinding masterplan for Caltech, and donated the entire studio’s 360 brand stewardship expertise to the nonprofit organization, Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women (now ‘Peace Over Violence’), leading them through a two-year re-branding process.

Rebeca Méndez’s art and design work has been exhibited and collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Museo Jose Luis Cuevas in Mexico City, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York. She is co-chair of the Art Directors Club of New York competition and has served as jury member in numerous graduate academic reviews.
