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.

We had such a terrific experience with Kristi at MWA. Honestly, we can't say enough about her friendly personality, attention to detail and pride in her work. We saw MWA's advertisement in a magazine and simply called to make an appointment. Kristi came to our home for a casual interview and from there suggested a few builders that we might consider in the Tahoe Area. Kristi led us to our awesome builder, Heller Construction and from there it was cake. What began as a small remodel turned into a full on renovation down to the foundation. Kristi rolls with the punches and has an awesome team of engineers and office staff to make it all look seamless. Let me assure you, she's just the gal you want representing your project when the going gets tough! On time, on budget...happy clients that are forever grateful.
