Holidays on your mind? Nothing can transport us to that magical moment quite like a holiday drink! The team at Reit had the treat of working with Cresimo on a new branding packaging project to take that metaphorical feeling into the physical realm.

A buoy for me as I navigate through a storm (or these days, several storms) are my people. I understand the value of support in my own life and how those relationships pave the way to other strong connections in the lives of others.

Some of our greatest creative ideas stem from personal experience. And for me that is no different. As an entrepreneur since the age of 24, I learned early on that the best way forward is through.

I really do anything and everything design-related! From moodboards, sketches, and high-level concepting to execution, edits, and more. It’s nice being in a small studio because I get to have a part in every project and client we work with.

As we close out November, we’re taking a moment to celebrate a big anniversary at reitdesign: 25 years. A quarter of a century in business is no small feat, especially in the midst of a challenging year.

To say COVID-19 has pulled everyone out of their comfort zones would be a gross understatement. As a business owner, it largely goes unsaid that the uncertainty and changes we’re experiencing in our current climate are challenging...

New year… new decade… catchy new concepts. At reitdesign, we’re always looking for fresh and unusual approaches, the perfect tactic to elevate a brand’s awareness and stimulate usage, though from what’s out there, I’m beginning to wonder.

Reitdesign proudly works with many non-profit organizations and the awareness it offers, the perspective it provides deepens our gratitude for the many blessings we have, especially at this time of year.
