Hello

My name is Reed Enger, I'm an interactive designer working from Minneapolis MN. Communication is my craft and passion. I see design as dialog, a way to connect people. The projects below document my favorite conversations.

Ethic

Interactive design frames a conversation, so it begins with an understanding of the people talking. Know the visual language and needs of the users. Speak their words and see their colors. Then refine and shape their message with crisp, bold, honest design.

News Carlson

So for the past month I’ve been in the temporary employ of Carlson Marketing. Their creative team awash with projects, I was called in by Carl Schultze to design a swath of the Subaru intranet. It’s good work, and Carlson treats their freelancers well.
