I’ve been in design for over 20 years. Didn’t plan it that way — started with a sketchbook and a curiosity about how things fit together visually, and it just kind of stuck. Grant Design grew alongside other work over the years until one day it was just… the main thing.
I work from the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA which suits me fine. Close to the trails, close to the water, and these days the work follows me wherever I go. You get me from the first conversation to the final files — no account managers, no handoffs, no layers.
What I care about is work that actually does something. Not design for the sake of it. Design that shows who you are and what you do — clearly, honestly, and in a way people connect with straight away.
I’m a graphic designer — though that usually gets blank looks at BBQs. So let’s just say I solve problems visually. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
I love creating brands that show who you are and what you do. Logo, colours, type, tone — the whole thing considered properly so it all hangs together and actually feels like you.
Business cards, brochures, signage, event collateral — print done properly. The kind of stuff people actually keep rather than bin on the way out.
Websites that are clean, easy to navigate and do their job. No unnecessary bells and whistles — just something that works well and looks good doing it.
Sometimes words and logos aren’t quite enough. I use custom illustration and photography to add depth and personality to a brand — icons, maps, artwork, product and lifestyle shots. The stuff that makes everything feel considered and complete.
I could go on about my passion for great design—but I’d rather let my clients do the talking. Here’s what some of the awesome people I’ve worked with have to say:
