Honovi, UX/UI Designer, Bold Orange
Grahame is always willing to share his knowledge, creating a culture of learning and development. He has been an excellent mentor who helped me improve my skills. He even explained some coding principles and best practices to me, which improved my collaboration with the dev team.

Courtney, Product Owner, Yelloh.com
Grahame helped (and truly led) us through moving from Photoshop to Figma for content design creation. This was a change management feat and involved training and advising other freelance designers, content marketers, and e-comm marketers. Without him, that internal transition would not have been nearly as successful.

Jay, Corporate Communications, Allianz Life
“Grahame has been an amazing partner as we build out the Supplier Diversity portal and web-pages. He is a very thoughtful collaborator and took our vision and created web-pages that are far, far beyond our expectations. The web-pages are really impressive and even garnered special notice from our external vendor, who stated 'this is the best page experience we've seen, very clean and great use of white spaces'.”
