Senior Graphic Designer | Creative Systems Designer | Production Artist

Hi, I'm Greg Gardner—a multidisciplinary designer with nearly 30 years of experience helping brands communicate through thoughtful, strategic design.

Throughout my career, I've partnered with agencies, national brands, and small businesses to create work spanning branding, digital marketing, web, motion graphics, print production, photography, and video. Because much of my agency work was completed under client confidentiality agreements, the portfolio featured here primarily showcases freelance projects while highlighting my approach to composition, color, typography, and visual storytelling, as well as the breadth of my skills and experience. I also embrace AI as part of my current creative workflow, using it to accelerate ideation, refine messaging, explore visual directions, and streamline production while relying on strong design fundamentals and creative judgment to shape every final solution. I enjoy translating complex ideas into engaging visual experiences while developing creative systems that keep brands consistent, scalable, and effective.

Whether I'm developing a campaign, designing a website, producing motion content, or refining a production workflow, my focus is always the same: creating work that solves problems, tells meaningful stories, and delivers results.

Today, I bring that same approach to my work at Raccoon Creek Creative Studio while seeking opportunities to collaborate with forward-thinking teams that value creativity, craftsmanship, and continuous learning.

Have a look at some of my work.
