Joshua Graves

About me, personally and professionally.

Personal Biography #

I’m ever curious. Always looking for connections, always trying something new.

In my spare time, I tinker with restoring old iPods and making art. I absolutely adore typography and have designed multiple typefaces, including Cosmata and Uptown Sans. I read a lot.

I call Joshua Tree home, but split time between there and Los Angeles.

Professional Biography #

I’m the founder of Lost Horse and a design leader with over 15 years of experience helping companies create thoughtful, award-winning designs for iOS, Android, and the web. I’ve worked with Fortune 50 companies and small businesses alike, always focusing on human-centered design that drives real results.

I’m deeply invested about helping smaller businesses scale with the same level of expertise used by larger companies, providing tailored, high-impact design systems and product experiences.

Earlier in my career, I launched AwesomeGIFs, a platform that helped shape communication in the digital age, and whose images are still in use all over the world.
