Hi, I'm Reese! I am graduating in May 2026 from the PECK School of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BFA in Design and Visual Communications and a Certificate in Community Art.
I am a designer and artist who cares deeply about creating work that feels honest and intentional. My practice shifts between bold minimal design and intricate detail. I love clarity and strong visual systems with pops of color, but I am equally drawn to pattern, texture, and the kind of depth that makes something feel lived in.
To me, design is not only visual communication; it is a form of connection, preservation, and subtle activism. It can restore meaning, bring to life things often overlooked, and transform the familiar into something deeply felt.
Whether I am building a brand, designing packaging, creating public-facing work, or just designing for me and what I believe in, I want what I make to feel thoughtful and alive. I care about craft. I care about community. And I care about making things that convey both beauty and purpose.
