Not really about beerds.
Not not about beards.
We love a good beer.
Who We Are
Redbeerd are art directors, designers, writers and illustrators. We specialize in brand identities, which means logos, of course, but also any execution or initiative where your brand needs to connect, persuade or impress.
We collaborate with field-specific gurus — animators, stylists, interior designers and photographers — to deliver an ultimate creative that is necessary, unique and affordable.
We love to work with entrepreneurs and start-ups, so as to build a brand from idea to offering. But if you are established, we embrace the opportunity to refresh and invigorate.
We strive for graphic excellence, humour, service and story.
What We Do
We ask questions.
We solve a problem.
We make something.
Maybe that something lives right in your hands, or maybe it occupies a digital space, right there on the screen. Every project is different and deserves its own solutions.

Our People
Founder
Graeme Gauld
Graeme is a multi-doer. A runner. A lover. A dog-scratcher. A never-ender until it’s right-er. A ‘really nice guy’. If you ask him sweet he may even officiate your wedding. Graeme started Redbeerd in early 2013, to provide excellent service that he found was so lacking in the market. Nine years later, with many clients turned partnerships, he may be onto something.
Partner
Amy van Vuuren
“Only if for good reason” is not something Amy says, but it does sound like her. She enjoys walks and cats, obviously. She will feed you vegetarian meals until you ask her to stop. She is fluent in strategy, art direction and English. She started hanging around the Redbeerd offices in 2016 and never left.
