About:
Dan Gretta is a multidisciplinary designer specializing in branding and packaging, with a foundation rooted in sensible typography and thoughtful imagery. He earned a BS in Graphic Design Communications from Philadelphia University (now Jefferson University) in 2008 and has since experienced working with a range of agencies focused on advertising, branding, and packaging. His focus spans industries including beverage, music, cosmetics, and hospitality. Whenever possible, he integrates illustration into his process, adding a unique end result to the final product. Outside of design, Dan considers himself a mediocre indoor plant horticulturist, a craft beer enthusiast, and an efficient almond blancher. When he’s not doing a subpar job at those things, he enjoys playing music, hiking, and traveling.
