• about grandpa-george

  There has to be a better way!

  Grandpa-George remembers it—not so very long ago—good guys, doing the right thing, integrity, trust and quality. It was everywhere, always. How did it become hard to find, rare, or worse, unlikely?

  Wanting to join the others that are trying to bring it back, a mission was charted. Do it well, with quality and good design. Make it better—one project, one client, one intern at a time.

  Grandpa-George challenges all—client, agency, freelancer, student, and owner alike—do better and design well; it will make us all better.

• Derrin's Portrait

  Derrin

  Coding geek extraordinaire, Derrin ensures your site is tricked out, functional and bug-free, built to standards and snazzy. It is not enough that he breathes this stuff, he teaches it too. When you pull back the covers and look at the code you will be impressed—no lie.

• Douglas' Portrait

  Douglas

  Tall, big glasses, nostalgic for beautiful, simpler times—Douglas is the brain behind the beauty. Keep in mind though, form and function are there too. Art direction, usability, brand consistency and standards; he does these too. Intern herder and instructor compliment the mix.

• Matthew's Portrait

  Matthew

  Keeping things on track, in-line and to task, Matthew keeps Grandpa-George rawkin’ while upholding the designation MOM—Mega Office Manager. Content, continuity, testing and quality cross his desk, as well. Act surprised—he runs the business and keeps everyone fed, too.

• Jacob's Portrait

  Jacob

  Good design isn’t lost on Jacob. If he doesn’t have his nose in a book about design, he’s making it. A triple threat, he understands graphic design, front end coding and project management. Wakeboarding, boating, action sports, education and mixology add to the package.

• Jeffs's Portrait

  Jeff

  Jeff is Grandpa-George’s amazing and talented Graphic Design Intern. He magically creates logos, business cards, brochures and other print-ready material. With a wife, being an active Army Reservist and attending Ai full-time, Jeff is a busy man. We don’t know how he does it.

• John's Portrait

  John

  Some call him Mister Fix It. Others, Big John. Experienced in everything Mac, John brings hardware and front end design experience to Grandpa-George as an Intern from The Arts Institute International Minnesota. He is a Freemason, an avid hunter and he loves to visit the cabin.

• Alex's Portrait

  Alex

  Joining us from Ai where he is a full-time WDIM student, Alex is learning the disciplines of front-end coding. He is a coffee house aficionado, has three dogs (one named Georgie—coincidence?), and resides in N. STP. Alex is all about Windows; we are weaning him to Mac.

• Gnome

  Gnome

  Keeping watch from the kitchenette table in the studio’s Northeast corner, Gnome keeps an eye on all the Grandpa-George happenings. He keeps Lester and all the interns in line, the rain at bay, and alerts us of impending floods. Gnome loves peanut butter crackers and PBR tallboys.
