Brandi Reeves

Graphic & Web Designer

Chesapeake, VA, USA
I am a visual communicator with a focus on print & web design. I like bold colors mixed into a clean aesthetic, frequently with a focus on typography. After working as a Web developer for longer than I like to admit, I went back to school to get back to my artistic roots to help give users good looking interfaces. Along the way I fell in love with print work, and the rest is history.
