ABOUT ME
MY STORYI’m Gretchen McGowan, a graphic designer with over 18 years of experience, including 12 years running my own business. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design and Photography, I’m passionate about creating designs that are not only visually appealing but also purposeful.
Outside of design, I’m an avid traveler, nature lover, yoga enthusiast, and food adventurer—always seeking inspiration from the world around me. These passions fuel my creativity and allow me to bring a unique perspective to my work.
For me, design isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about finding solutions that align with both form and function. Every project is a new opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and create something that resonates with both the client and their audience. Whether it’s a logo, package design, or branding project, I approach each with a focus on authenticity, simplicity, and impact.
