Who is Gracie?
About Gracie
I embarked on my design career in 2019 and transitioned into product design early in 2021 where I gained experience at a large corporate and a successful startup. Known for a humble and kind personality, people have said I radiate positivity even in the face of challenges. Beyond the pixels and prototypes, you'll find me sewing, on the soccer field or with my nose in a book.
