This month marks a monumental milestone for us at Graffiti - our 20th anniversary! Over the past two decades, we’ve had the privilege of crafting award-winning brand experiences and evolving into the dynamic agency we are today. So this month, we’ve been celebrating and reflecting on our journey while eagerly looking ahead.

Our founder, Kerrie Spaargaren, has been at the heart of Graffiti since day one, bringing over 20 years of industry experience and insight.
