About Marcus Reed

Marcus Reed is a Art Lead-AR/VR/3D Designer at Dreamtek. Colleagues describe him as "Marcus is a Creative that can wear many hats, often all at once. I've seen him lead brainstorms, write PRD's, mock up product designs, and closely collaborate with engineering and product management. He's a cross functional Creative Lead that can even play Product Manager when tapped or manage partner or vendor relationships. I've watched Marcus lead creative teams in 2D, 3D, 6DOF, VR, AR, and Volumetric. He's a leader that just plain gets things done. Marcus has a creative eye you can trust and a keen technical understanding of consumer technology and behavior. Stop reading and start writing Marcus an offer letter!" and "Marcus Reed is a very talented 3D Artist. He is a pleasure to work with as he is creative, thoughtful, and focused in his job. As an HR person I observed first hand his ability to collaborate with and support his peers. The environment in which Sportvision uses real-time graphics for live sports television would rattle most people. Not Marcus! He works under extreme pressure and yet you never know he is stressed for a deadline because of his calm demeanor. Marcus is a great addition to anyone’s team!"
