Hi!
I’m Reika ◡̈
I'm a graphic designer that has fun making print, motion and digital product design. I have a strong interest in the wider creative process spanning research, product photography, production and creative direction. Outside of my technical practice, I'm passionate about cultural anthropology, linguistics, and understanding the role of graphic designers within the framework of modern capitalism.
I'm currently pursuing a Communication Design BFA at Parsons School of Design while serving as the co-director of the design team for AIGA@TNS, and as a member of the student collective Return to Library. Notable past contributions at The Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
When I feel overwhelmed by everything I recuperate by reading, listening to K-pop, watching cultural video essays on YouTube, and drinking absurd amounts of milk tea.
