Hello, My Name is Grant Curtis.

I grew up always creatively inspired by design and having a passion for art. At a bright young age of 19 I decided to drop out of college and pursue a career that I had always dreamt of being apart of. I got hired on as a warehouse kid by Imperial Motion and built a strong relationship with the team. I developed my expertise in graphic design, product development, and production operations management. As the years went by my responsibilities grew with the brand to overseeing the daily operations and design direction of the company. I was responsible for identifying, managing, and growing equitable production partners. I helped provide exceptional and timely services, designs, products, and growth strategies. With nearly 2 decades of working in the industry; my professional and creative expertise has allowed me to execute company development and building strong relationships with key accounts to continue earning repeated business.

I am grateful for the opportunity that IM gave me and the skills I was able to learn alongside those guys. In 2022 I was able to help start a new business rebranded as Cure Customs under the same roof. The opportunity was amazing to oversee the entire organization but on April 21st, 2023 I stepped away from my job. It was bitter sweet and very emotional. I spent nearly half my life developing the skills that I have gained through the years but it allowed me time off to dig deep into my creativity and allowed me to discover what I wanted to pursue next!

With time away I organically started picking up a lot of creative & marketing projects for several different companies in all different types of industries. With all the skills I was able to learn throughout my career I decided to start my own creative agency. I want to help companies build a better aesthetics through the vision I have with my creativity!
