Nancy Reis

Purpose Brand’s associate creative director, Nancy Reis, is an artist, designer, director and mentor with experience in advertising, brand building and digital media.

Nancy brings fierce passion, strategic insight, a fresh aesthetic and solid craftsmanship to every project, instilling a spirit of collaboration and innovation within teams large and small. She has worked with an impressive number of clients over two decades across industries.

Growing up in a family with a specialty print shop, Nancy landed her first job out of college at an in-house agency for one of the nation’s largest printers. She immersed herself in the creative and production processes and quickly became a print expert. She honed her art direction and brand skills at Kohler Co., where she led global and digital campaign concepts and worked closely with the photo studio. 

Inspired by her love for the outdoors and Kohler’s Believing in Better philosophy, Nancy sought out opportunities to create meaningful impact with local communities and nonprofits, which eventually led her to Purpose Brand. Nancy is passionate about driving positive change through good design and creating a more equitable and sustainable future.

Nancy and her husband, Andy, live in Milwaukee with their Vizslas, Piper and Wren. When she is not in front of a computer or behind a camera, she may be gardening, cooking, hiking or exploring.
