About me
My name is Reid Morrison and I am passionate about creating and sharing the beauty and splendor in our world.
Everything we see in media highlights the negative side of society, but I want to share the spectacular that we walk past every day.
I developed the name BLDG BLOC around the idea of creating a community of creatives and small businesses who can collaborate to build on each others shoulders, supporting and challenging each of us to continue striving for excellence.
I have been equipped for this from a young age, growing up between my grandpa who sees everything through the lens of a camera, and my dad who started his own creative business while working full-time as an engineer.
I am excited to see how we can work together and create a project that surpasses both of our expectations, whether it be personal, professional, or a passion project.
