Paulina Reyes is an alum from MCAD and was a featured speaker at the AIGA conference in October. She is from Mexico and is accomplished as illustrator and designer.

A native of Mexico City, Paulina Reyes ventured to the United States more than 10 years ago, beginning her career at Laurie DeMartino Design in Minneapolis. Reyes later moved on to Duffy & Partners and then to New York, where she has lent her creative skills to several prominent companies, including Kate Spade.

Since 2011, she has been a design director at Mother New York. Throughout her career, Reyes has had the opportunity to work on a wide array of projects, both as a designer and an illustrator. In 2008, she collaborated with the Nature Conservancy on “Design for a Living World,” an exhibition highlighting products made from natural resources that debuted at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. She has also created textile prints for companies such as West Elm and WHIT. Reyes’ eclectic background has earned her a variety of recognitions, including being named a Young Gun 5 by the Art Directors Club and a “Twenty Under Thirty” by Print magazine.
