Hey there, lovely visitor! Thanks for dropping by. I'm Aga Grandowicz, an art director, graphic designer, and illustrator behind AGRAND, a Dublin-based graphic design studio.
I started dabbling in design and illustration over 27 years ago. After graduating in 2003 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, equipped with a master's degree with the highest honours in graphic design and traditional photography, I immersed myself in the design world, working with a wide range of clients, including advertising and design agencies, while also starting my own ventures. I believe that only an entrepreneurial designer can truly understand clients’ needs and the challenges they face in their businesses, and, with that insight, provide the best service.
Driven by my passion for business and related to it marketing, I decided to formalise my knowledge in this area and studied marketing at TUS in Limerick. With a higher diploma in the subject, received with first-class honours in 2024, I can now bring even more to the table.
So how can I help you? I lead brand and creative direction for businesses across print and digital platforms, delivering strategic, concept-driven design solutions from identity development to multi-channel campaign execution. I've got the skills to make your brand or product shine and, ultimately, to win you more clients or customers.
Here's what I can offer:
> Creative flair and art direction
> Expertise in graphic design for both print and digital
> A knack for drawing and illustration
> Storyboarding skills to help tell your brand's story
> Strong project management abilities
> Hands-on marketing experience

Feel free to explore my portfolio, and see some of the work I've done with my clients and the ad agencies I worked with. I particularly enjoy designing for culture- and events-related organisations; for example, working with a team to create branding, all marketing collateral and strategies for a large event could be a dream task.
