welcome to planet grace.
“WE DON’T DECORATE, WE DESIGN."
one of my first creative directors said this to me, and every time I open Adobe Illustrator and ponder adding some more random polka dots to fill up a space, I hear her words in my head, gently reminding me that all visuals carry significance (even when they don't!).
art direction is my happy medium between informed strategy and unbridled creativity, where there is space to be silly and serious, ugly and cute, weird and minimal. if you're doing it right, that is.
sometimes, it's fun to think inside the box so you can figure out how to get out of it.
reach out and say hi!! i love meeting new people and chatting about advertising and design!
