The Story Behind Designing GRACE

My Grandma Grace is the inspiration behind Designing GRACE. My grandma died when I was eight years old, but her legacy lived on through the stories that my mom told me about this powerful woman. Throughout my life, I have always been compared to this woman who protected her family with ferocity, was an excellent cook, and dressed as she had just stepped out of a magazine. She was funny, creative, strong, and commanded respect. It always felt like the comparison was unfair because those were big shoes to fill. When I decided to launch Designing GRACE, the logo had to be that of my grandma drawing me because her influence helped shape me. Through my life experiences, I am filled with GRACE: Grit, Resilience, Authenticity, Confidence, and Excellence.
