Explore. Create. Inspire. 

Reno Design (est. 1987) and print consultancy Vantage Graphics Pty Ltd (est. 1985) ceased trading as commercial entities in September 2023. This site is now considered an archive of Reno Design and creative director Graham Rendoth.

Over four decades Graham Rendoth, along with business partners and a wonderful evolving team of designers and administrative staff, created enduring brand, business, publication and web designs for large and boutique organisations, as well as individuals with a taste for interesting design.

Creative thinking and clear strategy informed our distinctive, expressive and diverse outcomes. With core design aesthetics, Graham Rendoth and colleagues explored new communication directions from ideation to execution.

Over 35 years Reno Design and Vantage Graphics maintained primary offices in Chippendale, an inner-Sydney creative precinct. Over those years the studio delivered contemporary brand and design services to clients across industries as diverse as finance, health, arts, publishing, events, technology, mining, food, cosmetics and not-for-profit. Where able, we developed partnerships and opportunities to explore fresh challenges. Our client diversity also reflects a philosophy of celebrating the new and innovative while upholding standards of creative strategy and management efficiency.

Within the studio team and in all client relationships we were collaborators.
