Senior Interior Designer
Raised in Central California, Reese’s passion for design and construction began early—building homes out of Legos and drawing inspiration from a family deeply rooted in creative trades. Her grandfather designed and built homes, her father is an engineer, and her grandmother was a seamstress. With a mother who loved fashion and interiors, Reese developed an innate appreciation for the intersection of design, architecture, and craftsmanship.
She studied architecture for three years, including a year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, before realizing her true calling was in interior design. During college, she gained valuable experience working for two architecture firms. After earning her degree in Interior Design, she relocated to Lake Tahoe and began her career in the design-build realm, where she spent several years honing her craft on custom residential projects.
She continues to find joy and inspiration in thoughtful, intentional design--but her favorite role by far is being a mom. Raising her two daughters continuously inspires her to grow, stay curious, and become a better version of herself each day. When she's not working, Reese can be found hiking, skiing, or enjoying time at the beach with her girls--continually inspired by the natural beauty of the Tahoe region.

All Staff
Over the last twelve years Kurt Reinkens of MWA has designed two personal residences for us. As a measure of our appreciation for his creativity and skill, we have just recently asked him to design a third. In the first two instances our design goals were distinctly different one from the other, yet in each instance he was able to capture the essence of the look and feel we wanted, producing a design that pleased us immensely. His interest in his craft seems to be insatiable. This is a man who is following his passion!
He is a delight to work with, responsive and enormously talented. We recommend him to you with great enthusiasm and without reservation.
