Reid Slaughter

About

https://www.reidhslaughter.com I've always been a creative person, starting with a love for art as a child. This naturally led to pursuing a Graphic Design degree at the University of Northern Iowa. I taught myself HTML, CSS, and Javascript to land some freelance gigs and eventually an internship at Leepfrog Technologies in early 2017. Later in Oct, I would start as a UX designer at Collective Data. I really enjoy solving problems whether for users (external and internal) and the business. It's very satisfying in a square peg in square hole way. I'm always learning new technologies. As of 2023, I've been learning how to work with AI not only for productivity but design. In my spare time I like to 3d model, 3d print, and play video games!
