Hi, I’m Joel Groves. I’m a designer with over eight years of experience across graphic design, branding and artworking. I thrive on turning briefs into clear, engaging visuals, managing assets across multiple projects, and ensuring output stays on-brand while pushing creative boundaries. I love collaborating with teams, exploring new ideas, and delivering high-quality design that resonates with audiences. I’m always eager to learn and grow, not shying away from unfamiliar territory. I bring energy, curiosity and a collaborative spirit to every project, and I’m committed to producing work that I’m proud of and that helps our campaigns stand out.
