About
Hi, I'm Colin Gridley. I make work that's as fun to look at as it is to scroll past twice. I believe in design with fingerprints—wonky edges, saturated chaos, and unexpected texture. My world is built with layered type, tangled color palettes, and layouts that like to interrupt themselves.
I play in the space between order and glitch—where things loop, blur, and burst. Sometimes it's brand identity, sometimes editorial, sometimes just a visual dare. Whether it's a name tag or a system aesthetic, I like making things that smile back at you.
Currently open to collaborations, commissions, and unusual problems. Bonus points if they involve glue sticks, motion blur, or existential metaphors.
