Meet Gracie, a vital force as design director.
She's a powerhouse of efficiency, knowledge, unwavering support and our team leader. Her keen design expertise guarantees that our projects run seamlessly and adhere to AJD's exacting standards and beauty.
Beyond her professional prowess, Grace adds a touch of humor and candidness to our work family. She's not just a reliable team member but also someone who keeps our spirits high with her no-nonsense approach and a good laugh.
Outside of the design world, she prioritizes her family, creating lasting memories with her loved ones. She's working on her own design masterpiece: an early 1900's home she shares with her husband and her cat Posey into a gorgeous European style home that's reminiscent of her visits to Italy and France. She's a fan of Nancy Meyers movies, appreciating the art of storytelling and aesthetic perfection.
In Grace, we've found a dedicated and indispensable member of our team, and we're grateful for her contributions to our interior design firm.
