Hey, I'm Gracie. I graduated from the Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio, in the spring of 2020.  My degree is in Interior Architecture and Design, though I have had a wide range of classes in many fields, and I have developed strong graphic design, painting, and photography skills as well.

I believe that my biggest strength is that every detail in my art, events, and designs, has a meaning and a purpose. You'll find symbolism, references, color theory, and deep meaning that I infuse into it all, and it is relevant and thoughtful due to my wealth of knowledge and practice in emulating design and art history, along with countless hours of research for each project. I also have a fearlessness when it comes to taking design risks - to go beyond what might just be trendy, generally accepted, or familiar. Those risks, however, are just part of how I think and design - I am most interested in creating pieces unlike any I have seen before. 

​

I am positively obsessed with creating experiences. I particularly love experiences that tell stories, which explains my fascination with spaces, placemaking, ancestry, and culture. I adore history as well, and I feel completely at home in museums: on which I focused for my senior thesis. The more interactive and immersive the space, the better.

​

I believe that I get the most out of life by surrounding myself with special, beautiful moments and spaces, and to be able to do this for others, too, is my dream.​

​

In my free time, you can find me still being creative and finding inspiration by traveling, thrifting and antiquing, spending days in museums, biking, redesigning my home, reading, attending festivals, doing yoga, eating good food, snuggling with my husband and cats (Sam, Tater Tot, Anchovy, and Biff), and planning parties just to be able to decorate.
