Linné Garrett
Linné is the visionary and creative director at 829 DESIGN. She has spent over 25 years helping her clients reimagine brands and experiences, shaping the moments that matter with their customers. A principal at 829 DESIGN, she is deeply passionate about building trust, enabling businesses to create value and stronger connections with people, markets, and ultimately earnings.
Mentored by the legendary Philip B. Meggs, professor, historian and author of “A History of Graphic Design” (the definitive guide used in teaching the history of graphic design) during her VCU years, she formed a strong understanding of the intellectual basis for design and visual communications, not just the aesthetic. The importance of Meggs’ influence on her professional career and POV is evident to this day in her process and approach to design communications.
Le Chat de Bureau Cool
Meet Oliver. He is our official "Keeper of the Cool" at 829.
A blue Abyssinian by birth, chronic cool cat by choice. While he spends most of his time basking in the warm sunlight, he offers plenty of affection while we stir up some awesome sauce for our clients.
He's in charge of office security, our daily dose of happiness, and oftentimes is our muse because of the quintessential coolness he exudes.
Oliver is an exceptionally good boy.
