Being a Sponge: A presentation by Jesse Reed of Pentagram in the 9th Ward at Babeville.

Jesse Reed is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning with a B.S. in design. Immediately after graduating in the summer of 2010, he moved to New York City and joined the Department of Advertising and Graphic Design at the Museum of Modern Art. A year later, he went on to work for Michael Bierut at the New York office of Pentagram Design.

At Pentagram, his projects have included environmental graphics for the New York City Department of Transportation, branding and identity graphics for Saks Fifth Avenue, New York University, the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, BigApps NYC, Bobby Flay, White&Case, and most recently, the new logo and brand architecture for Penguin Random House.

Jesse’s work has been recognized by Communication Arts and Print magazine, the American Institute of Graphic Design (AIGA), the Society for Environmental Design (SEGD), and the Type Directors Club. He was a speaker at the national AIGA conference in 2013. In addition to Pentagram, Jesse operates Chip Slip, LLC, which he founded in early 2012.
