Design Work
A good design is half the battle of a story told.
Over their career, Reid has designed dozens of characters and props for ongoing tabletop RPGS for entities ranging from Slimesicle to your favorite old dungeon master for your weekly game.
The Goblin Themself
Reid is a 30something, nonbinary Portland-based digital illustrator. While they're Filipino-American, they were born and raised overseas in Malaysia (and occasionally Thailand) until they moved to the States as an adult to complete their education. Sources will confirm they've always been a grimy, mossy little art gremlin off to be found slapping colors down somewhere.
In 2021, they completed mentorship under art director and game designer Paul Canavan. For 2022, they enjoyed Jeff Miracola's Illustration Intensive Workshop 2022 under a full scholarship from the Imaginative Realism Foundation.
To date, they've worked a handful of zine publications and illustrated for the ENNIE award-winning Uncaged series. They have also contributed the Emperor card to Publishing Goblin's Alleyman's Tarot Project, which is now the most funded Tarot Kickstarter of all time at $1.4 million in support.
