Bringing Ideas to Life at Intus Creative
Rebecca Dowell is the owner and lead creative of Intus Creative. With a diverse skill set spanning pre-press expertise, conceptualization, and art direction, she has led numerous successful projects. A graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, Rebecca was recognized by the School of Design for her "social/ethical awareness and advocacy through design" a recognition that continues to fuel her passion for using design to positively impact people's lives.
Rebecca's career began in 2010 when she joined Kansas City Public Schools, where she played a key role in rebranding and refocusing the organization's message over a six-year tenure. She later joined the Midwest Transplant Network, leading design efforts in marketing and environmental design. At PBI-Gordon Companies, her art direction directly contributed to the company’s record-breaking success, including multiple first-place wins at industry awards.
Rebecca now works independently, partnering with agencies on campaigns for brands like Valent U.S.A., Midas, Planet Fitness, U.S. Bank, and Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health. As a certified life coach through the Jay Shetty Certification School, she brings a thoughtful, human-centered approach to her design work—helping clients and creative teams clarify their vision and connect with their audience more meaningfully.
A proud native of Kansas City and a third-generation Hispanic-American, Rebecca maintains strong ties to her roots. She previously served on the Board of Directors for the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra and continues to return to the Kansas City Art Institute as a guest critic, mentoring the next generation of designers.
Rebecca is deeply committed to her family—her partner Alexai and their two children, Amelia (15) and Norman (10). Together, they enjoy exploring Kansas City’s vibrant arts, music, and sports, fostering a love and appreciation for the city’s cultural offerings.
Intus Creative
Intus, derived from Latin, meaning "within," aptly captures the essence of my creative body of work. I believe that the creative process originates from within – within an idea, a conversation, or an observation. It is this internal spark that transforms into a shared message, and as a creative professional, my role is to bring this vision to life—nurturing and cultivating it until it becomes a tangible reality.
