Pure beauty—like the simplicity of how
a letter curves, or the space around
a shape—lives in the small details
of every end result.

About

Hello there, my name is Liz Grant. I am a graphic designer based in the sunny state of California. When I’m not running my one gal design studio you can find me in the trees exploring the wintery mountains, or on the lake in summer with my husband Jeff and our little babe Holden.

The freedom of endless possibilities is what inspires me. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful design that has a touch of simplicity and the unexpected.
I believe that some of the most simple design solutions can be the most effective, and good design doesn’t have to be visually complicated.

My focus as a designer is helping small businesses and creative entrepreneurs build cohesive brand solutions. No matter how big or small, I take my passion, knowledge and expertise into each and every project. Visually helping you tell your authentic story and crafting a brand that brings your unique story to life is what motivates me.

Process

My creative process is built around collaboration and transparency and begins with ensuring we are on the same page right at the very start. Whether it’s a simple icon or a web layout, we will work together to create an end product that effectively problem solves and elevates your brand.

Starting any project with a common goal and understood expectations establishes an environment for creating the best results. During the first stage of your project, I will focus on making sure we agree on the project’s creative direction. From there, we will work in tandem and have some fun of course too as we discover your brand’s unique identity.

Through a client questionnaire, research and trial and error we will explore who your brand is, the story you want to tell, and strategize on how to attract your ideal audience. We then develop a design direction and start creating your aesthetic by choosing patterns, colors, fonts and textures. Every little detail matters. Even the smallest part of your brand is crafted with purpose. By working together as a team, we craft a strategic design solution that is built to perfection.

She was quick to reply to emails which made the process seamless and something I really appreciated. I felt listened to and Liz captured my brand perfectly, I have gotten so many compliments from my friends, family, and clients. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and hands on experience.”

    RHIANNON SARAH

  • “I reached out to Liz because I had a business card that I was time and time again embarrassed to hand out. Based upon her portfolio of work, I felt confident that she was the right person to create my design. Liz was responsive, patient and professional but what I found most important was her ability to listen to where I was with my brand and ultimately where I wanted to be. We used colors, samples and images as inspiration and the end result is something that I am absolutely thrilled with. I am looking forward to getting this logo to paper so that I can start sharing a brand that is a true reflection of me.”

She is an absolute breeze to communicate with (always ensuring she’s clear on expectations and timelines), as well as the most prompt designer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. It’s apparent Liz has not only a natural gift for design, but also an admirable passion for her craft and dedication to her clients. I can’t recommend sweet Liz enough!”

    STEPHANIE RUSSO, JUST WEST

  • “When I first came across Liz’s work I knew that I wanted to work with her! Her designs were modern and clean but still had a style and art to them that made them stand out from a crowd. Working with her was just as wonderful as expected, she took the time to ask questions and understand what I wanted my brand to be perceived as so that she could use her expertise to translate those into designs. As someone who isn’t easily impressed, I can honestly say I am blown away at what she created and how far it exceeded my expectations!! She’s also a wonderful person and will absolutely be using her for all future design needs!”
