GRAY COLLAR CREATIVE
White collar design. Blue collar approach.
With over 20 years experience in identity and brand awareness in both Design and Creative Director capacities enabling us to not only create branding for fitness and outdoor industries but employ ways to get them recognized by your target.
Truth is, great design requires a little sweat equity and a lot of dirty work. It’s a combination of great ideas and great execution. It’s theory + practice. Software + hardware. The what + the how. And it’s not having an eye for greatness, but it’s having the grit to get greatness done.
When it comes to developing cohesive brands, there is no gray area… We know even great ideas can fall apart with unfinished edges, so we know how to produce just as well as conceptualize. Therefore, no creative is ever delivered without the polish it deserves.

BRAND CONCEPTS THAT SWEAT THE DETAILS
We come to you with a performance driven background, working with design and ad agencies to create neck-snapping campaigns for outdoor brands like The North Face, Oakley, Cateye, and Weston Snowboards.
Grind Ethic is grounded in a love for all things design and conceptual… But we’re not talking about just pushing pixels on a screen. We’re talking about a distinct understanding of what it takes to create powerful brands and marketing campaigns.
With knowledge in everything from conceptual design to welding… Layered with a gritty passion for the outdoors and fitness, we use nights and weekends to design and build basecamp vehicles for hiking and exploring… Such as vans, trucks and even LMTV’s.
This amalgamation is a Director level creative that can make projects large and small get produced on time and on budget because of a knowledge in areas that other creatives don’t possess.
