Good work, done well is about process, solutions and people. A good harvest is contingent on the detail and care it was tended to from start to finish.
Good work delights the senses, functions well and has deep roots to stand the test of time. Form and function: You can’t have one without the other. I'm always thinking of people first: those standing behind the brand or the ones interacting with the product. The design must work hard, be intuitive and fulfilling.
I begin as a student learning the terrain of your brand’s business, needs and environment. I value building meaningful, sustaining relationships through empathetic listening and trust. With this as the foundation, we can create strategic brand and design solutions with lasting impact. Good design is relational. It anticipates needs and is most considerate of how it interacts with others.
GARETT MAYFIELD
BRAND DESIGNER + CREATIVE DIRECTOR
I’m a customer-centric brand designer that has worked on all facets of design since 2008. I use my design expertise, decade+ knowledge and abiding nature to grow things that last and matter.
My approach is relational. I care about the people I work for and I want what I create to work hard for them. My posture is humble and hardworking. These values are rooted deeply in me. When I’m not working hard behind the scenes I’m playing hard with my three little kids and wife. My time with my people is what lights me up and inspires me the most. I love to fish, adventure outdoors, travel, and linger around the table with good people and good food.
