Reed has been involved with corporate, government, cultural, educational and medical project types with an experience range including programming, planning, building design, interior design, and administration. His expertise in the field of corporate and workplace design resulted in his designation as a Juror for Best of NEOCON Chicago in 2000-2004 as well as IIDEX Toronto in 2002 and 2004. His work has been recognized by numerous awards, publications and galleries and exhibited in the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York.

He has produced a distinguished body of work, consistent in design excellence, recognized by numerous AIA awards,and widely published in national design journals.

He achieves an integration of artistry in architecture that serves as national paragon, working with craftsmen to find innovative, painterly interpretations of common materials. His breakthrough lamination of textiles and glass...his pioneering use of automotive paint on wood and mixed metals...his revolutionary use of medium density fiberboard as an exposed finish...his adherence to strict environmental building principles. . .Mr. Reed�s explorations are catalysts for product development and application across the country.
