Design thinking at any scale
I bring creativity, clarity and intelligence to branding and business cards, social posts and postcards, 16-pixel icons and 16-foot wall displays. I am adept at creating eye-catching design across all media, with particular expertise in print.
Partners in doing good
You are making the world a better place — through culture, social change or science. I distill big-picture concepts into deliciously digestible words and images. Let’s talk about working together. And making your message heard.
”We’re thrilled with the stylish, crisp and fresh design on our new brochure. Lind’s collaborative approach and quick response throughout the design development process was much appreciated. And his talent as a wordsmith is an added bonus — always on the mark!” — Ella Pauls, River Run Centre

About Gareth Lind RGD
I apprenticed at Bakersmith Graphics in Toronto in the late 80s, then art directed Metropolis, a Toronto alternative weekly.

A self-taught cartoonist, I have published in Eye Weekly, This Magazine, Alternatives Journal and yahoo.ca.

Associates
Projects with a wide scope or tight timelines may need more hands on deck. I work with friends in the flourishing Guelph creative community to provide a wide range of services and quick turnarounds.
Trina Koster Photography
Everyone takes pictures. But Trina Koster makes art from life. She distills the mood of an event, the essence of a person, the form of a product — all with intelligent staging and life-of-the-party direction.
Barking Dog Studios
Barking Dog Studios merges design and technology to create engaging, accessible and usable internet projects with full CMS. A common thread in their work is inspiring people to interact for positive change.
Designers of Guelph
In 2008, I reached out to a few other local designers to meet for drinks and talk shop. Now comprising more than 40 designers, illustrators and photographers, the DoGs have helped coalesce Guelph’s design community, with monthly meetings and a public presence advocating against spec work. Members share tips and resources and sometimes collaborate across styles and disciplines.
