As well as a Senior Graphic Designer at Signet Jewelers. As a Creative Director in the DFW Metroplex. I have served in Marketing Communications for over 15 years. Serving companies of all sizes, including Sally Beauty, SUCCESS Partners, Solera, Raising Canes, Haggar Clothing and Signet Jewelers. As well as several medical practices, ad agencies and local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I founded Reinecke Design in 2016 as an opportunity to take on a more comprehensive role as both marketer and designer.

In my teens, my sketchbooks frequently featured custom logos, but nobody I knew had a framework for understanding commercial art\/graphic design. I didn\u2019t know how I could turn my creative passion into a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I began my university studies in Art Education, on the path to become a teacher, at the High School level. By my Senior year, I was married with children, and decided to pivot, and transfer to something more profitable. Having worked in advertising sales for months by this time, I understood where I wanted my career path to lead, and began studies at a new school where I received my BFA in Graphic Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winning Entries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Certified Teacher and Entrepreneur Lori Bourgeois began offering tutoring services, she wanted to build a lasting brand that was known for motivating and empowering children to learn, and to see themselves as smart, capable students.
