Samantha Steinberg is a formally trained artist and graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). In 1998 Steinberg decided wanted to combine her artistic talent and her interest in everything true crime/serial killer and become the first forensic artist ever in Miami-Dade County. Working initially as an unpaid volunteer Steinberg’s second composite drawing, a suspect in a home invasion robbery with a tattoo on his forearm, was identified as soon as her drawing was released on a Need to Identify flyer. She was hired by by the Police in 1999 and became the first forensic artist in Miami-Dade County in 2001 when the position was approved. Steinberg spent the past 25 years as THE forensic artist for the largest police department in the South Eastern United States. As a direct result of her extraordinary artwork over 400 criminal suspects and unknown decedents have been identified. 

 

 

They say timing is everything, during Steinberg’s 24th year with Miami-Dade Police she and her nephew, Hudson Revesz, decided to start a custom sneaker company which they named Reed Revesz. 

 

Hudson Revesz and his “Aunt Sami” created their first pair of custom sneakers in 2017. At the time, Revesz was a student at Miami Beach Senior High. One day he saw a fellow classmate wearing a pair of sneakers the student had embellished by drawing on and in that instant the idea for Reed Revesz was born. Steinberg and Revesz made two pairs of custom sneakers that year but the timing wasn’t right. 

 

Fast forward  and the duo’s sneaker business is making waves in a City used to big name talent. In less than two years, Reed Revesz has set themselves apart in the custom sneaker industry. The quality of their work is next level and the artistry rivals any artist working in any medium. 

 

If you are not one of the lucky few who already own a pair of Reed Revesz’s customs, get on their waiting list now. This company is going to do great things!
