Reese Yarbrough



I learned the value of a strong work ethic from a young age (thanks, Dad). My life informs my work, and I love to learn and better myself. Every trip to the grocery store inspires me.

Knight Eady


During my graphic design internship at Knight Eady, a full-service creative agency in Birmingham, AL, I contributed to a variety of projects across multiple platforms. My responsibilities included designing social media graphics, creating email templates, and developing both print and digital fliers for a diverse range of brands and events. I collaborated with the team to ensure that all designs met brand guidelines and effectively communicated key messages to target audiences.
