My name is Greg Vennerholm, but most people know me simply as Venny. I provide high-level creative direction and design to companies of all sizes. My work is based on more than 20 years experience in the design and consumer branding industry.
PurposeCreative is my full-time freelance brand. It’s not a big agency with complicated methodologies and layers of overhead. It’s just me and a few hand-picked, highly experience partners I turn to for content, development, and other specialized skills.
The links below provide all the background details you might want. If you still have questions, of course, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Venny was an absolute godsend to our organization several years ago and he has played a vital creative role in MarriageToday ever since. He's willing and able to tackle anything and does it with a positive attitude and fresh design perspective. He took our interactive media to the next level and also did some marketing and product design for us. I've recommended him many times to my colleagues who are looking for an exceptional designer, and everyone that has interfaced with him says the same thing--Venny is suberb!”

Simply put, Venny's the best. His designs are always fresh and creative; his workstyle is straightforward and mature. His experience shows in every project he's a part of. We've partnered on dozens of projects, both online and print, and there's no one I'd rather work with.

Versatile Words

My history working with Venny started back in ‘99. He was already pretty deep into the interactive, online frontier. So he has had the benefit of living through the development of the medium. Knowing from experience what has been tried, and what works. Venny has a range of perspectives from which he generates creative ideas. He is a consummate proponent of effective branding. Clear and effective communications are his favorite tools. He is not easily fooled by gimmicks, and doesn’t suffer a fool’s wasted effort.
At the same time, he has been drawn to technology by the potential it affords toward innovation. Online marketing is a demanding medium. Venny brings to it an emphasis on engagement and a strong support of messaging. Keen insights into usability drive a rigorous informational structure to his pieces. He makes sure that his creative executions are as functionally effective as they are beautiful. Flexibility has allowed him to tackle subjects as diverse as Ford Motor Co., Wendy’s and most recently some noteably strong work for Scotts-MiracleGro. The work for Scotts brought together their diverse brand portfolio to engage with new consumer targets online. An intense understanding of the technology platform was needed to address content and design needs. But more importantly, the site enables community interactions for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels.
On a personal level, I’d like to note his sense of integrity and respect for others. His teams and business partners always have a healthy dialogue that comes from honesty.
