ABOUT ODIN

Odin is founded by an English designer with Norwegian heritage currently based out of  Southern California.

Carl Graves graduated from The University for the Creative Arts with a BA Hons Degree in Graphic Communication in 2005. He transitioned into the industry by securing several branding agency internships with FutureBrand, Start Creative and Elmwood Branding all in Soho, London. These internships grew into a diverse freelance career over the next 20 years where he gained personal and professional experience in Branding and Advertising agencies across Europe and Australia. Carl is proficient with Adobe’s Creative Suite and has designed branding, illustrations, packaging, digital media, and advertising for such brands as Unilever, London Underground and Virgin Atlantic. After settling in California he has worked on projects for the Topanga Messenger Newspaper, Los Angeles Fire Dept. and The Getty Conservation Institute.

Carl loves to explore and learn. He has personal achievements such as professional gymnast and Taekwondo instructor and enjoys leather crafting, calligraphy and growing craft cannabis. Most recently, he completed a 12 month sabbatical as an engine mechanic, resulting in an automotive service excellence qualification.

Feeling refreshed and ready for war, Odin is looking to forge new relationships specifically within California’s recreational cannabis sector, the automotive industry, and sportswear branding.
