ABOUT STUART PHILLIPS & GRATEFUL DOG DESIGN

I started Grateful Dog Design in 1996, after creating a pet memorial for a dear friend using word processing software (!).  I was pleasantly surprised by the feedback I received…so I decided to begin making custom photo memorials for customers.

I have also been interested in photography my entire life; that interest expanded to video.  I was fortunate to get to produce a variety of video projects for dogs fostered by Austin Pets Alive! as well as recordings of performances by Austin musician friends.  Feel free to browse a sampling of my videos and photography below.

In 2023, I decided to add pet sympathy cards; I’m excited about adding a wide variety of greeting cards to this site.  I’m so glad you found your way to Grateful Dog Design – welcome to the site!
