Mazel Mazel Designs

Mazel Mazel Designs is architect Rachel Machowsky's ketubah studio, born when she designed an abstract ketubah for her own pandemic wedding.

Craft: Modern ketubah design

Mazel Mazel Designs treats the ketubah as a modern work of art. It is the studio of artist and architect Rachel Machowsky, who studied architectural history and visual arts at Brown University, earned a Master of Architecture from Columbia, and worked in architecture in New York City and Chicago.

She found her calling while planning her own wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she designed an abstract ketubah for herself. Friends and family asked her to make theirs, and the business took off from there. Her collections show the range. The Abstract collection weaves lines into patterns like Infinitely Intertwined; the Art Nouveau designs lean into vintage ornament; the Landmark collection draws places like Central Park and Gramercy Park; and the Signature ketubahs are made for couples who love beaches, plants, trees, elephants or ice cream. Beyond ketubahs she makes wedding invitations and stationery, wedding logos, baby name art and house portraits.
