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

Your Creative Partner

If your business is growing and your marketing needs change month to month, a Creative Partner retainer offers calm, reliable design support without the commitment of a full-time hire.

With guaranteed hours booked at the start of each month, you’re at the very top of my priority list. No constant re-briefing, no last-minute scrambling — just consistent, flexible creative support when you need it.

Think of me as an extension of your team. I’ll get to know you, your business and your brand inside out, so everything we create feels considered, cohesive and unmistakably you. From those website tweaks you’ve been meaning to get to, to polished newsletters and day-to-day marketing assets, I’ll help keep your brand looking professional, joined-up and quietly confident as your business evolves.

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.
