Howzit! I'm reef,
a multidisciplinary designer and artist who is currently the Creative Manager for Air Force Football. I recently graduated with a BS in Virtual Technology & Design (VTD) from the University of Idaho, where collaboration, storytelling, world building, design, art, and immersion converge.
Originally from O'ahu, Hawaii, I went to school in Moscow, Idaho. Being raised in and around sports, I had a deep drive for performance and attention to detail. In high school, I found fascination in photo manipulation and graphic design, being inspired by artists like BossLogic, Phase Runner, Jay Clay, Jimmy Mitchell, and more.
In college, some of my studies included character design, environment design, 3d modeling, texturing, staging, animation, and more. The VTD program helped me become a more holistic and well-rounded artist and designer, while my graphic design internship with Vandal Athletics (V's up!) helped build my confidence and connections in the realm of sports.
Now, I lead creative recruiting efforts for the Air Force football team. My process as a creative is constantly changing and maturing, and I'm always seeking new tools, techniques, and ways of thinking to help me become a better artist.
Feel free to reach out to me on social media or on LinkedIn, I'm always looking to connect with other creatives.
