Good Graces is a paper and novelty brand that weaves social justice, history, and spirituality as into tangible items that inspire hope and healing. My experience at various ad agencies, design firms, and design-centered nonprofits taught me to use visual communication as a powerful tool for social change, and I founded my business to scale my reach from local markets to national gift and boutique stores through online orders, consignment, and wholesale.
Since 2006, I’ve been making art that changes people’s minds. Now, my focus is getting those same pieces to as many people as possible — hoping that through their encounters with my work, they’ll believe a better world is possible.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen a paradigm shift from print media to digital and believe that a return to handheld long-form content is one of the paths forward to repair the consequences we’ve seen. We’re still living in a time where social media algorithms are designed to create entirely different experiences online, but we can chose to create and consume an alternative to the extreme polarization we’ve witnessed over the last few decades. That’s why my work is intentionally created for physical spaces that circumvent digital silos to find people where they’re at: a department store, a state fair, a gas station, a hospital, a coffee shop, or at a loved one’s home. Designed for your space, our print pieces guide people offline and in person.
