During our teenage and young adult years, many of us struggle with feeling different from our peers and long to find our place in the world. For Reba (@reba.renee), being a student in duPont Manual’s Visual Art Magnet only compounded these feelings. While there, Reba found it difficult to find her voice as an artist and struggled with realism. Her passion wasn’t in realistically depicting subjects. She preferred the use of color and bold design. It wasn’t until working a part-time job at Café Press in college that Reba found what she was looking for.

While there, she was introduced to the world of graphic design. As far as careers go, it was love at first site. Once Reba completed all of her college prerequisites, she shifted her focus to graphic design. She began with courses on programs like Illustrator and Photoshop, cementing her love for graphic design.

After graduating, Reba landed a job as a graphic designer for an advertising agency, doing some freelance work on the side. She eventually moved on to another firm before coming to conclusion that she needed to start her own business. Agency life was too rigid, restricting, and ultimately hindered her productivity, preventing Reba from growing her career the way she wanted. After a few years, Reba saved up enough money to go out on her own. Her bright, bold, and playful designs have garnered her clients like Feeder Supply, who have used her designs for their private Incredipet label.

Like the recession before it, the ongoing pandemic

Like the recession before it, the ongoing pandemic has undermined conventional wisdom surrounding college degrees and so-called “secure” jobs. When discussing the opening of The Resource Room (@resourceroomlou), Jamie said, “I followed the rules, I got the degrees, I got the job and this happens and where’s the security? It doesn’t actually exist. So I decided this summer, I’m going to leave higher education, I’m going to put all my effort into this.”

Previously, Jamie worked as an academic advisor. She enjoyed helping students explore their interests, select their classes, and ultimately get them started on their career paths. During this time, Jamie started The Resource Room as a side project. Its goal was an extension of what she did as an academic advisor: help people discover their best selves and promote personal growth.

When the pandemic hit, the illusion of a secure job shattered. In summer of 2020, Jamie’s employer deemed it necessary to furlough workers; she volunteered, knowing she could take the hit better than some of her colleagues. This gave her the opportunity to put all her time and energy into The Resource Room. During the last few days of her furlough, the idea of going back tied her stomach in knots. Not only was there the dread of going back, but she also knew people who were genuinely following their passions and she questioned why she wasn’t. In the summer of 2020, Jamie decided to take the leap and devote herself wholly to The Resource Room.

The Resource Room combines Jamie’s desire to help nurture growth in others with her interest in art. As a kid, Jamie wanted to be an artist like her late father. It was through his art that Jamie got to know and connect with her father. In that spirit, she aids local independent artists in doing what they love and make a living doing it. The Resource Room not only offers artists a place to work and some supplies to do so, but also a place to display and sell their work. Jamie set up The Resource Room to follow a consignment model. Under this model, The Resource Room takes a percentage of sales to cover operational costs and artists aren’t charged anything up front to display their work.
