Kevin Reid

Backstory:

Kevin, the son of an “ad guy,” is a second-generation Art Director/Designer. He grew up spending most of his time taking art classes or shooting hoops in the backyard. His childhood dream job was to work at Nike designing shoes. After graduating from the University of North Texas, he began his career at Temerlin McClain in Dallas, working on the American Airlines account. He moved next to The Richards Group, where he spent more than 20 years working on a variety of clients including H-E-B, Central Market, Atlantis Resort, Jeep, Hyundai, Wyndham Hotels, Motel 6, The Home Depot, and lots more. Kevin loves to travel, having visited Prague, Vienna, Dublin, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, and Florence (in the pre-kid days). He also enjoys photography and attending a lot of his daughter’s basketball games, where he takes a lot of action photos of her.
