hello! nice to meet you

we are team Griffin Grace. A smarter, leaner design agency that takes branding very personally.

Bex Deere » Client Director

With 24 years in Graphic Design strategic and project management roles, Bex is at home leading a C-Suite workshop as she is taste-testing new products with startup founders. Responsive and enthusiastic, Bex always goes above and beyond and is fiercely loyal to our clients’ brands (including her daily ritual of Mount Henry Honey on crumpets!).

Bex has directed large scale multinational projects for Danone, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Reckitt Benckiser, Unilever and more. But she’s proudest of her work helping businesses closer to home like Nutricia, Freedom Furniture, McCain and Auckland Transport bring new brands and products to life. Bex is always up for a cup of tea and a chat - book one below if you’d like to find out more about us.

Nat Townsend » Creative Director

Make your brand stand out from the crowd with Nat's unique visual storytelling. She likes to push the creative boundaries to present something vibrant, memorable and unexpected. Nat balances out that creative flair with a love of a solid grid and classic typography rules making large packaging rollouts and brand guidelines a breeze.

Her diverse experience in strategic branding and packaging has contributed to the successful repositioning of brands including Priceline, Bega Peanut Butter, Chai Spice and Papandrea Fine Foods.

A doting mother to our namesakes, Griffin & Gracie, it is Nat’s dream to help launch a premium natural dog food brand.
