About us

Who we really are as an agency.

At the heart of Grim you've got the yin and yang of two very different principals, one a technologist, the other a designer.

One is a creative powerhouse always dialed into the latest trends in marketing, design, and startups. He masters the balance between what's trending and what's timeless, keeping them perfectly in sync. From branding cheeky consumer products to luxury healthcare, he tunes into exactly what customers are desiring and willing to pay for.

The other is a technology-driven visionary with the chops to not only architect large-scale software solutions, but to design and produce innovative hardware solutions that solve real-world problems. She's as comfortable on the command-line as she is soldering components on a PCB—a one-woman R&D lab.

Why Grim? Because we heard the call of creators everywhere. We're not your typical agency—we're a small team of guns-for-hire who are flexible, intuitive and collaborative. We can jump in and get your team to the next level, scaling like the masters. With a killer network of talented folks and studios at our side, we're ready to tackle any design challenge. The future is fractional and we love to come into organizations and help you elevate your game.

We're the ultimate design dream team. Whether it's crafting brand identities that stick or weaving digital magic that leaves a lasting impression, we've got it covered. Sleek industrial design to nostalgic print work to apps so smooth they might just steal your heart, we do it all.

We're not about quick fixes or flashy trends. We make choices that not only get results but also make the world a better place for our future. Sustainability and responsibility is in our secret sauce.
