Reese Bowes is a multi-disciplinary designer with a demonstrated history of producing experiences, prototypes, and leading technical strategy for research and development in the computing and interactive experiences industries. He has assisted and lead areas in the evaluation and development of new cloud-based AI and machine learning developer solutions for IoT and Edge computing for Intel’s New Software Experiences (NEX) organization. In addition to this he was senior strategy/technical lead and senior experience designer at Instrument, a senior creative technologist at Amplified by Design in Portland, and also led industrial design and systems prototyping efforts for the Systems Prototyping Lab at Intel Labs.

Reese has over fifteen years of experience in software engineering, technical validation, and user experience and industrial design. He has worked with and developed designs and design strategies for companies and institutions such as Red Hat, Samsung, Dropbox, SalesForce, Youtube, Microsoft, Oregon Health and Science University, Intermountain Healthcare Group, General Motors, Michelin, and the US Army.

Reese’s competencies reside in software engineering and processor validation, developer and user experience design and strategy, user interface design, web design and development, conceptual development, and rapid prototyping. He’s held position as an affiliate faculty member at the original PNCA's Make+Think+Code Lab (now CETI at PSU) where he taught workshops focusing on the unification of virtual reality, computer assisted drafting, and observational drawing and sculpting, and he’s also taught audio production at Portland State University's School of Audio and Music Production. Reese continues to mentor students in PNCA's graduate programs and through AIGA as an ongoing contribution to new and emerging designers and artists.

Reese’s personal work as an artist ranges from electronic and analog music production, fine art illustration, on to digital interactive multimedia installations. His interactive installations, sound sculptures, and visual work typically focus on the intersections between human-to-human interactions as modified by technological interfaces, and the cognitive effects of unconscious design on large populations. His work has been shown at various galleries in Portland, Oregon, including the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, the Northwest Film Center, PDX Contemporary, and Disjecta (Oregon Contemporary).

Reese earned an MFA in Applied Craft and Design through a joint degree from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Oregon College of Art and Craft. He’s studied Artificial Intelligence at the Center for Spoken Language and Understanding (Natural Language Processing) at Oregon Health and Science University (formerly, OGI School of Science and Engineering). He has thus far been awarded and granted 11 United States Patents for various designs and technologies that have furthered or provided foundation for interactions in virtual and augmented reality, in addition to design patents for wireless charging apparatuses and ultra-high bandwidth wireless storage devices.
