about me

Marlyn Reed
✨ Open to Opportunities

Designing experiences that feel as good as they look.

I'm Marlyn Reed, an upcoming graduate of the University of Washington's Master of Human-Computer Interaction and Design program. Growing up in Atlanta, and later attending Howard University, I have always been surrounded by Black culture in its most vibrant forms. Those experiences shaped the way I see design: not just as something visual, but as a tool for storytelling, connection, and community. Whether through graphic design, UX, branding, or creative direction, I want to create things that feel intentional and meaningful for the people they are made for.
