About Grim Grin Graphics

We Are Grim Grin Graphics.

A graphic design and digital marketing firm built on one belief — your brand should work as hard as you do. We combine strategic thinking with sharp creative execution to help businesses show up with clarity, confidence, and consistency.

Where We Come From

The Story Behind the Work.

Grim Grin Graphics was built out of a simple frustration — too many businesses were settling for design that looked fine but did nothing.

We started with the belief that great design is not just about aesthetics. It is about clarity. It is about strategy. It is about making sure every visual touchpoint is doing its job.

From brand identity and social media design to pitch decks, packaging, and full digital marketing campaigns — we build creative that is practical, polished, and built to perform.

The People Behind the Work

The Team.

Owner

Troy Knight

Owner & Creative Director

Troy is the founder, owner, and creative lead of Grim Grin Graphics. A multi-skilled designer with deep experience in brand identity, web design, 3D design, social media creative, and integrated marketing campaigns. He has built visual systems, developed websites, created 3D product mockups, and led digital marketing execution for brands across e-commerce, nonprofit, and community sectors — including agency work with Counsel of Marketers in California. When he is not building brands for clients, he is building worlds of his own — fan art, Blender animations, and personal projects, all made by hand.

Administration

Michael Parker

Office Administrator

Michael Parker serves as Office Administrator for Grim Grin Graphics, supporting client communication, email coordination, invoicing, scheduling, and internal organization. Clients may occasionally see him in Zoom meetings depending on the project or administrative needs.

Our Philosophy

Design should solve problems, not just look pretty.

Strategy and creativity are not opposites — they are the same thing done right.

Your brand deserves more than a template and a stock photo.

Consistency builds trust. Trust builds business.

Good design pays for itself.

Design and Marketing Under One Roof

What We Bring.

Most design firms hand you files and wish you luck. Most marketing agencies outsource the creative and hope it lands.

At Grim Grin Graphics, we do both — and we do them together.

From brand identity to paid ad creative to website design and content strategy, we handle the full picture so your brand stays consistent and your marketing actually performs.
