a lil’ about me

My name is Bobbi Stalnaker, but most call me bobs.

I earned my BFA in graphic design degree from one of the best design programs in California. After spending the early years in my career in both large companies and creative agencies, I took a leap on my own toward my entrepreneurial dream and started Gray Area Creative.

My mission is to help my visionary clients break molds and create authentically bold experiences rooted in their true purpose.

I enjoy working with businesses and brands of all sizes, artists and creative entrepreneurs to bring to life their values and purpose through bold and strategic design. My favorite thing about design is interacting with my clients, collaborating with artists, and bringing their purpose to life through authentic branding and visual communication.

With each client I work with, I am honored to be trusted with their vision and work closely to bring it to life with my work. 

Let's Make It
The vision that we carry in our imagination holds the vision of a truer, more beautiful world. . What does design mean to you? . . . . #graphicdesign #inspiration
