Student combines creativity, academics to make it work

By |

Attending college is not an easy task, especially one as lively and spirited as MSU, but somehow students still find a way to pursue their interests while studying thoroughly. 

One student to take note of is senior, Myles Reed. 

Reed is pursuing Creative Advertising while managing his clothing brand, EVOL LIFESTYLE. Working to balance his academic priorities and his creative side,  Reed started his brand during his senior of high school and continues to gain exposure for it. As a teenager, Reed felt conflicting emotions as he was finding himself and decided to channel that energy into his brand. “Love, sadness, anger… all that inspired me to make the brand,” Reed said. “I didn’t want to put that angst into something negative so I started my brand so people could get a visual of what I was feeling at the time,” Reed said.

Reed creates all his designs himself, including shirts, hoodies, and hats.
