We had the pleasure of working with Athufa for over three years. She completely transformed our marketing and taught us so much along the way. She showed me firsthand how the right strategy can take a business to the next level.

We worked with Laura and the team to develop our updated website. Laura was really interested in understanding our needs and worked with us to get the best possible outcome. She was patient with us and explained the process really well. She was generous with her time, and does a fantastic job to continue to support us post-implementation. We couldn’t recommend Laura and the Grendesign team highly enough!’

Laura at Grendesign was readily available to chat to throughout the entire design process. She was very professional, as well upbeat and creative. She made us feel that our project was her highest priority and delivered a wonderful website that we’re very happy with. It definitely fits the requirements and look that we needed.

We decided to take a punt on Grendesign and the results spoke for themself.
Michael Friend was a pleasure to deal with and very skilled at his craft.
After several disappointing experiences with other companies we were blown away at the level of professionalism and quality that Michael (Gren) were able to produce.
I am very confident that based on our collaboration our business will reap the rewards.
Look forward to collaborating on more brand designs in the future with Michael (Gren)

Client interview
I have been working with Grendesign since the beginning and my relationship with everyone just keeps getting better and better. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I feel like part of the team which really helps when you are busy with your own business but need to make important marketing and graphic design decisions and changes.
Project feedback
“I went to Grendesign with an idea in my head of what I wanted my brand to look like, and they nailed it. Very early on I actually felt like part of their team as they were always welcoming, friendly and reliable. I have had so many positive comments about my brand. As someone working in the finance and mortgage industry I wanted to be different as finance can be very dry and unappealing to people. By having a brand that was a little on the fun side it has allowed me to reach a wider audience”

We’ve worked closely with Grendesign over the past few years across branding, marketing strategy, and digital assets, and the experience has been excellent! Their team has a strong understanding of both design, SEO and marking strategy, which makes their advice practical and effective. Communication is clear, deadlines are met, and the quality of work consistently reflects a high standard. Highly recommended!

We couldn’t be happier with the result of Calibre’s logo redesign and flyer. Michael & Grendesign were incredible to work with though the whole process - from the first call to the end product. Always creative, full of wisdom & ready to collaborate to see that our vision came to life - they really took all our ideas to the next level. The brand is in such a better place now and I’m very grateful to the team.

Calibre Entertainment
Grendesign did a great job creating a 12 month marketing strategy for our business. From the initial consultation through to presenting the final strategy, the process was easy. The team was understanding of our business needs and were flexible and professional along the way. The final marketing strategy reflected this. I highly recommend.

The team at Grendesign are an absolute delight to work with. They have recently completed our rebrand and new website build, for our festival 'VineHop' and we could not be happier with the end result, they have completely nailed the brief! The branding is fun and vibrant and the website not only looks great, but is easy to navigate and offers a great user experience! Thanks Gren, we look forward to the next project with you!

Grendesign Rock!!! Referred to me by a friend who had used them when launching their business, Grendesign lived up to all expectations and more. From my initial contact with Diana to my designer Fi, everyone was available at all times and nothing was a problem, no matter how many questions & changes I had. Grendesign hit the brief straight off and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work by a boutique design company that still believe in personal service. Thanks Grendesign, you made this an enjoyable process.

Grendesign made me feel involved, consulted and aware of opportunities and challenges every step of the way. That’s what you want in small business. You also want to work with someone who you feel is on your team while asking the questions that matter. I wanted to rebrand my business and GrenDesign made my vision something superb that I am proud to present. I now have brilliant new branding, business cards that pop and a wonderfully designed, easy to navigate and self-managed website that makes me stand out and connect with the right clients. Best business investment I’ve made all year.

We found working with grendesign an absolute pleasure. It was important to us as artists that what we do came across visually, and with content that explained our craft without too much fluff..!! After listening to what we required, the girls were excellent in giving us ideas about layout, design, colours and content. It all came together beautifully in the end and we are extremely pleased with the result. It was never too much trouble to make any changes and getting our online shop up and running was very exciting.

Grendesign has been my preferred designer for a number of years now. Designing the branding and a detailed brochure for a music festival (Peninsula Summer Music Festival) and assisting with updating of web and social content. They are so easy, efficient and lovely to deal with as well as their work being of outstanding quality. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Working with GrenDesign has been great! The approach was organised and systematic which kept everything on track and allowed lots of flexibility. I also appreciated that we could get this started through Skype while we were in Canada.

Easy! Rebekah took our ideas and translated them into a site that really captures who we are and what we do. The two design options presented were exceptional and right on the money in terms of the ‘look’ we wanted.

I engaged Laura and the team at Grendesign to develop my brand image and website design both of which are fabulous I am very happy with the result. I particularly enjoyed being given multiple options to choose from that both aligned with my brief but also challenged me to stretch outside of my comfort zone creating an even better result than I had imagined. Laura and the teams design skills were exceptional!! The process was seamless and the team are very efficient at guiding you through each stage ensuring that you are clear on what is being delivered and when. Grendesign not only have an exceptional team but they add value through their relationships with quality professionals such as copy writers and photographers making the whole project enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend Grendesign to anyone who is looking for a professional and classy result.
