Production before presentation
Artwork is judged by more than how it looks on screen. The production process, final use, and handoff matter from the beginning.

years across graphic design, prepress, and digital production
Built on hands-on experience
Creative judgment shaped by what happens after design.
Richie Gray has spent more than two decades creating artwork and preparing files for real production environments. Approximately 12 of those years were spent inside a corrugated packaging manufacturer, working where customer requirements, graphic design, prepress, digital printing, approvals, and production all meet.
That experience influences how EXTN approaches every job: understand the destination, build the artwork correctly, check the details, and make the next handoff easier.

Why EXTN exists
Built from the inside of the problem.
EXTN was created around a simple reality: companies often need experienced graphics capacity, but adding another full-time position is not always practical. Outsourcing can solve the capacity problem—but only if the outside partner understands the work, communicates clearly, and remains accountable for the details.
After approximately 12 years supporting packaging production inside a corrugated packaging manufacturer, Richie’s position was eliminated as the work moved to outsourcing. That transition clarified what the better version of outsourcing should be.
“This isn’t outsourcing designed around distance or volume. It’s experienced graphics support designed to work as an extension of your team.”
EXTN combines direct senior-level support with GraphicsFlow, the organized system behind requests, artwork, quality control, revisions, approvals, delivery, and job history.
How EXTN works
More than extra hands.
Capacity matters. The experience, accountability, and structure behind that capacity determine whether it actually makes the customer’s job easier.
Direct accountability
Customers work with the experienced designer responsible for the job—not through an anonymous resource pool or layers of account management.
An organized process
Requests, files, revisions, approvals, and final delivery follow a visible workflow instead of being scattered across disconnected messages.
Practical creative range
Packaging and production experience lead the service, with branding, apparel, and print support available when the broader work calls for it.
Senior-led from start to finish
The person you talk to understands the work.
EXTN is founder-led by design. Customers get direct communication with Richie Gray, continuity from request through delivery, and clear ownership when questions or changes arise.
The goal is not to imitate a large agency. It is to provide experienced graphics support that feels responsive, dependable, and naturally connected to the customer’s team.
Your graphics department. Extended.
Work directly with experience that understands production.
One project, ongoing support, or a workload problem still taking shape—it starts with a straightforward conversation.
