KATIE REICHELBorn and raised in Washington, IL, I was captivated by the power of visual communication at an early age, constantly seeking inventive ways to express my creativity. While pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Michigan State University, my journey into graphic design began to unfold, sparking a passion that led me to dive straight into a master's program focused on multimedia design during that time I was able to research the intricate ways individuals consume content. Embracing this multidisciplinary approach, I honed my graphic design skills while simultaneously working for Michigan State football and delved into coding, mastering HTML and CSS to construct immersive digital landscapes.
Throughout my academic tenure, I maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA, securing an invitation to Kappa Tau Alpha, the esteemed National Honor Society for Journalism and Mass Communication. Being recognized as one of the nation's top scholars was a testament to my dedication and innovative spirit.
Transitioning into the professional realm, I spent the past season with the Cincinnati Bengals as a graphic design assistant. Within this role, I've dived into a diverse spectrum of projects, from crafting captivating social graphics to spearheading the complete transformation of partnership materials, including a revamped sales deck and detailed mockups. Moreover, contributing to our game day program has allowed me to showcase my approach in any project from print to digital and my relentless pursuit of fresh, original concepts.
I thrive on pushing boundaries and continually seek novel, creative solutions. If you're eager to explore my portfolio or delve deeper into my innovative design approach, please don't hesitate to reach out directly—I'd love to share more about my work and vision.
