About
Hi, I'm Grant - currently, I'm a self-employed seo consultant, web designer, video editor and photographer 📸 After 10 years in Nature Conservation 🦏, I started working as a paragliding instructor but due to the pandemic I moved to Sweden and started a small digital design and marketing company with a focus on brands that are making a difference in the world: https://metalynx.eu I’m a passionate creative and conservationist at heart - blending the two is my dream work. Thanks for viewing my profile, please message me if you have any questions 📩 Grant
