Welcome to Groves Creative! 🎉 Formerly Gab Design. Let’s create something amazing together!

Your Creative Partner

If you find yourself with different design and digital needs every month but you’d rather not hire a full-time designer, my retainer packages are your creative life ring. With guaranteed hours paid at the start of each month, you’re at the very top of my priority list.

Think of me as your creative partner, here to wave a magic wand over your brand every step of the way. As an extension of your team, I’ll get to know you, your business, and your brand—and then make it even better. Whether it’s making those website tweaks you’ve been putting off or designing an unmissable newsletter, I’ll keep your business afloat and thriving with seamless, cohesive visuals.

What you'll gain:

  • A discounted retainer rate

  • A cohesive and recognisable brand identity you’re proud of

  • More time to focus on your business, while I handle your design needs

  • Consistent support from someone who truly gets your brand

  • Priority access, easy budgeting, and guaranteed hours each month

What my clients have to say

Frances Fleming - Tuckwells

Sam is a joy to work with and a strong part of the Tuckwells marketing team. She understands our brand guidelines and works creatively within them; happy to work to a tight brief or offer her own design ideas as needed. Sam works well to deadlines and always responds quickly to emails, often going above and beyond to meet a tight schedule.

Larissa Trimoulet - CSNRI

I have been working with Sam for more than two years and I can unequivocally say that Sam is one of the most talented graphic designers I have had the pleasure to work with. As a graphic designer myself, I appreciate Sam’s attention to detail and her ability to capture ideas easily. Sam is dedicated, responsive, and punctual delivering her work. I am glad I found Sam to help with all my digital and graphic design needs and I can offer only the highest recommendation of her.

Emma Ardley-Batt - AVT / GeoTree / Fyfe

I have been working with Sam for many years and brought her with me when I joined my organisation as I trusted an admired not only her design capabilities, but also how she works as a true partner to her clients. She now looks after all my design and digital marketing needs for AVT, GeoTree and Fyfe.

Sam created the full aesthetic brand for each of these companies and continues to be on the end of the phone whenever I need a project completed. She now creates all our trade show graphics, social media images, case studies, data sheets, brochures, power point presentation templates, presentation invites, sign in sheets, you name it, if there is a design element needed, Sam is my go to person.
