Reid Tessness

Designer

Dunwoody College of Technology, A.A.S Drafting and Design, Bachelor of Architecture

I have been passionate about architecture for as long as I can remember. As a child I would spend my time drawing houses and other buildings and studying the plans of our own house. I was and still am fascinated by the process of translating drawings on paper to physical space and everything that goes into it. My career is driven by a desire to create beautiful and functional spaces for everyday life. My current role at Wilkus Architects is Designer and I look forward to furthering my career!

Outside of work I enjoy sewing clothes, knitting, painting, traveling, and hiking. I think all creative hobbies are related to architecture in some form, but particularly with making clothes I think it is a similar process in the sense that it is also starting from a 2D drawing and ending up with a 3D piece in the end.
