Hi, I’m Gary Crilley, a
seasoned graphic designer with a wide-ranging background in various creative fields.

Branding and design

Does your logo and brand accurately reflect your company's professionalism and values?

You've dedicated a great deal of effort to building your business, making it an integral part of who you are.

Will a $25 AI or WordArt logo do justice to all your sweat, stress and tears?

Web design and development

Does your website instil confidence in visitors to do business with you?

While many small businesses favour social platforms over a website for marketing, an outdated site – or no site at all – is still a red flag for many potential customers.

Make sure you can measure up to your competitors.

Illustrations and animations

A picture is worth a thousand words. A moving picture is worth a million!

Videos, animations, and explainer graphics can better showcase a concept than words alone. Don't let a lack of understanding keep customers from your door.

Once sold, many products require an installation or instruction manual. Don't let ignorance or improper use reflect poorly on your fabulous product.

Video production

Corporate, sales or social videos

Most businesses have amassed a wealth of product or service videos shot on smartphones. Rather than lying dormant in the cloud, why not turn them into engaging corporate or sales videos?

Client Feedback

It has been a pleasure having you as our website and company profile designer over the past 20-plus years. We have enjoyed your ideas to update our website and company profiles, adding new projects once completed and new personnel.

Angela & Calum Finlayson
Redican Allwood Construction

Gary’s design work is modern, visually striking, and perfectly aligned with the brand. Every detail, from the logo to the colour scheme, is thoughtfully crafted and executed. Importantly, it has been consistent across all products.

Francis Palmer
Garden Independents Network/Gardening NZ

As a client we’ve found Gary easy to engage with and more importantly he has always had a good understanding of our needs and objectives and delivered on the brief.

A few questions answered

Where are you based?

I live in Kapiti, and my client base is primarily between Levin and Wellington. However, I do have this handy little tool called the Internet, and occasionally have clients in Australia, the USA and the UK.

What do you do?

Pretty much anything design-based: print, web, video, packaging, sign design, or words. But if I feel something might be beyond my capabilities, I have a broad selection of compatible professionals to subcontract to. I will still be your project manager – your one-stop contact.

Are you expensive?

I hope not. I’m not ‘Facebook ad $5 website’ cheap, but to put things in perspective, my hourly rate is currently lower than it was in 2010. If cost is a factor, I can work to a budget, or we can discuss a rolling delivery over a coffee.
