A studio built on story, style, and sincerity.

Every good story starts somewhere, and mine starts with “Goose” — my childhood nickname and a reminder that leading with heart and having fun can go hand in hand.

It shaped how I see the world: celebrate often, give generously, and notice the small details that bring people together. Gifted Goose Studio grew from that same foundation.

Before stationery, I spent years in corporate leading client experience strategy and event planning. Those roles showed me how thoughtful details, like an easy user experience, a well-timed thank-you note, or a tiny but mighty detail that smooths the experience without anyone noticing why, can quietly shape the way a celebration feels.

I realized there was space for a design partner who blends creativity with strategy, making the process calm, collaborative, and intentional from start to finish.

So I built the studio that felt true to me — a place where story, style, and sincerity guide every decision; where planning expertise meets a love of typography, color, and narrative; and where each piece is crafted with clarity, purpose, and personality.

I couldn’t be more thrilled that you’re here.

Hi, I’m Grace — and I love a good story.

Based in St. Louis, with roots in Omaha and the Coachella Valley, I design for celebrations near, far, and anywhere a good story takes me.
