Who is Garrett?

ABOUT ME

I am a graphic designer who thrives at the intersection of bold ideas and refined execution. With a sharp eye for typography, branding, and packaging, my work balances precision with raw creative energy. From crafting powerful visual identities to designing immersive print and digital experiences, every project is built to leave an impact.

​

Beyond the screen, I find myself connected and inspired by the outdoors—whether it’s backpacking a new trail, chasing waves along the coast, or exploring city nightlife. That same sense of adventure fuels my design approach: dynamic, intentional, and always pushing forward.

​

Cool under pressure, driven by creativity, and always chasing the next great idea.
