Hi, I am Agust Gudbjornsson

As a seasoned graphic designer based in Reykjavík, Iceland, I am deeply passionate about design and its power to captivate, inspire, and evoke emotion.

I thrive on the process of creating visual and technical enhancements that elevate the impact of my work, whether it’s for a client’s project or a personal endeavor.


My Approach to Design

My love for design is evident in every aspect of my work. From meticulously crafting pixel-perfect layouts to experimenting with innovative techniques, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity to deliver results that exceed expectations.

Whether I’m working solo or collaborating with a team, I relish the opportunity to combine my creative skills with others, leveraging diverse perspectives and expertise to achieve our collective vision.


Collaboration & Creative Process

I believe great design is rarely created in isolation. Collaboration plays a vital role in my process, allowing ideas to evolve and strengthen through shared insight, discussion, and experimentation.

I am dedicated to delivering excellence in every project I undertake.


Leadership & Storytelling

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading imaginative teams and steering the creative direction for film productions, experiences that have further fueled my passion for design and storytelling.

Whether it’s designing a brand identity that resonates with audiences or crafting immersive digital experiences that leave a lasting impression, my focus is always on creating meaningful, memorable work.


Giving Back to the Design Community

In addition to my professional endeavors, I am committed to fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration within the design community.

Whether it’s mentoring aspiring designers or sharing insights at industry events, I am always eager to contribute to the growth and development of the next generation of creative talent.


A Relentless Pursuit of Excellence
