Hi there, nice to meet you!
I'm Reece. I'm a project manager at a performance marketing agency with a background in creative operations and human-centered design. I graduated from UC Davis in the Class of 2023 where I majored in Design and Cognitive Science. Currently, I enjoy splitting my time between New York, NY and my hometown of San Carlos, CA.
Growing up, I always gravitated towards creative hobbies(give me pens, paper, and scissors and I'd be entertained for hours) which eventually developed into an interest in design. I really love how design goes beyond just aesthetics, focusing on functionality and problem-solving to create impactful solutions.
Another key aspect of my identity is my natural ability to stay organized and detail-oriented. Throughout my life, I’ve been the go-to planner within my friend group. I am at my best when I am leading group projects, organizing travel plans, and bringing ideas to life.
When I'm working...
I own what I do and will take the initiative to continuously learn and improve my work.
I approach problems using design thinking strategies to create user-centric solutions.
I thrive even in high-pressure situations by planning ahead, down to the smallest details.
When I'm not working...
I'm hosting dinner parties
I'm adventuring outdoors either near water or in the snow
I'm planning trips for my friends
I'm playing soccer
I'm researching new fashion brands
I'm posting my film photos on Pinterest
