Garrett N.
Branding, Packaging & Web Design for DTC, SaaS & Tech Startups
I’m a senior brand designer and art director with 15+ years of experience helping startups and established brands scale through design. I specialize in high-impact identity systems, premium brand packaging, and clean, high-converting UI/UX for websites and apps. 🔗 Portfolio: garrettnewton.com * 🧠 Design That Builds Real Businesses I was the first employee at a full-service creative agency and SaaS startup, playing a pivotal role in shaping the brand, product, and client work from day one. Over 13 years as Art Director and Lead Designer, I helped lead the company from concept to a $22M exit — driving design across a wide range of industries, from branding and websites to marketing and product UI. I bring that same long-game thinking and cross-industry experience to every project I take on. I’ve worked with scrappy startups to nationally recognized brands like the NFL Super Bowl, Captain Morgan, Sports Illustrated, DFW Airport, University of Michigan Robotics, Westin Hotels, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, and iRestore, contributing to high-level design work across multiple teams and engagements. ✏️ What I Do Best • Brand Identity Design — Logos and systems with staying power • Packaging Design — Visually striking, shelf-ready solutions • UI/UX Design — Clean interfaces that convert Let’s talk about your project and see if we’re a fit. *Upwork likes to keep things in the family — so just drop me a message here if you want to work together.
