Hi, my name is Grace. I’m the oldest of four sisters, which basically means I grew up part-time sister and part-time cruise director. I had to keep everyone entertained, so I built entire imaginary worlds for us to step into. That’s the same muscle I flex now as a designer, taking a vague idea and turning it into something full and alive that people didn’t even know they wanted. Outside of design, I’m a huge TV nerd who can quote Gilmore Girls, How I Met Your Mother, and Smallville like it’s my job. I love reading crime novels and fantasy series like A Court of Thorns and Roses, and I’m obsessed with travel. In 2024 alone I visited 14 countries, and I still find time for trips to LA, Chicago, and New York. These days I live in Phoenix with my husband Coco, surrounded by a community we love, and if I’m not designing you’ll probably catch me behind a camera shooting creative projects or daydreaming about my next adventure.

For the past seven years I have built my career at the intersection of social media and graphic design. I often entered roles as a social media manager, only to quickly expand into design once people realized I could deliver more than strategy. I could create the visuals to bring it to life. That dual path gave me an unconventional but powerful foundation, sharpening my ability to move fast, listen closely, and execute with precision across both digital and print.

Coming from an agency background, efficiency is second nature. I have balanced anywhere from 15 to 20 clients at a time, and now as Head of Social and Senior Graphic Designer, I manage 30 to 40 design projects each week while also overseeing 10 to 12 social accounts. My work spans billboards, pamphlets, newsletters, and door hangers to digital advertising campaigns across Meta, Google, and the broader web. The common thread is always the same: transforming simple ideas into clear, compelling design that drives action, whether that is generating revenue, building awareness, or inspiring an audience.

Now I am ready to lean fully into design. I have loved every opportunity to wear multiple hats, but what excites me most is focusing deeply on the craft itself and giving every project the creative attention it deserves.

My dream for the future is to step into a Creative Director role where I can bring together everything I’ve learned across social media, marketing, photography, graphic design, and video. With a background that spans so many areas of the creative world, I feel like I have a unique 360° view of how brands grow and how audiences connect. I love shaping ideas into clear, exciting visions and helping teams not only see that vision but run with it.

What excites me most about the idea of creative direction is the chance to guide others, build careers, and push brands to put their best work forward. I want to work in-house at a company that’s bold, innovative, and a little quirky, somewhere that matches my love of creativity and aligns with the things I’m passionate about outside of work. While I’ve loved working in real estate and building, I’d ultimately love to step into an industry that feels even closer to my own language and lifestyle. At the end of the day, my dream is simple: to use creativity to help teams grow, help brands inspire, and help companies reach beyond what they thought was possible.
