DESIGNING SINCE 2019
Hello! I’m Grace Ann Perry, a designer with a passion for creating thoughtful, strategic work that connects. I recently earned my MFA in Design from the School of Visual Arts and am currently based in New York City. Over the past six years, I’ve developed brand identities and visual systems across packaging, print, and digital. Whether I’m launching a new brand or refining an existing one, I approach every project with curiosity, collaboration, and a focus on turning ideas into engaging, lasting designs. If you’re looking for creative work backed by strategy, I’d love to connect.
