Greg Maffei / Grey Matter

design + ideas

Grey Matter Design office has grown, contracted and evolved over the years; from a small 3-person agency to a 15-person firm, back down to a tight partnership with contract help, and currently solo. 

My role throughout has included creative direction, brand strategy, concept development, art direction, brand design, environmental and retail design, packaging design, digital/web design, wayfinding, production and project management. 

I have developed concepts and executed everything from global retail programs to brand platforms to individual brand experiences across many different categories.

I understand how to build teams, manage budgets, and connect with clients across many different categories to align with their business goals.

I have executed programs and design for Nike, Columbia Sportswear, MKTG, Rejuvenation Hardware, JK Carriere Wines and Transition Projects, among others.
