Gord Montgomery Design is an independent strategic creative studio providing solutions through design, branding, marketing, and illustration
A creative partner for businesses, organizations, and agencies who need creative thinking backed by real-world experience
Every business has a story to tell, a challenge to solve, or an opportunity to capture. My role is to help bring those ideas to life through thoughtful creative work that connects with people and supports your goals. Whether it's building a brand, launching a campaign, creating marketing materials, or developing custom illustrations, I focus on creative work that is memorable and effective.
With nearly two decades of experience working alongside clients, agencies, and organizations of all sizes, I know that the best results come from collaboration. I bring strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and hands-on execution to every project, acting as an extension of your team rather than an outside vendor. From the first conversation to the final deliverable, I'm invested in helping you create work that stands out, works hard, and makes a lasting impact.
Whether you're starting a brand or reinventing one, let’s create work designed to move it forward

Your brand is more than a logo. It’s how people recognize, remember, and connect with your business. I create logos, identity systems, and brand guidelines that help brands look professional, build trust, and stand out in a crowded market.

Awards & Recognition
Over the years, the work has earned its share of recognition, but curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement remain the driving forces behind everything I do. There is always a new challenge to solve, a new story to tell, and a better idea waiting to be discovered.
