behind the name
This business was dreamt up to be a space where I am free to be creative, where I am inspired, where I feel happiness and where I feel free to be myself. I wanted a name that embodied all of that. My daughter, Grey, is one of my biggest inspirations. My kids inspire me daily, I feel my most happy and most able to be authentically me when I am with my kids. And so, State of Grey was born, because I want to be in a constant state of Grey, full of imagination, creation, authenticity and pure happiness.
What a life...!
While I am passionate about my work I know that there is more to this life than what you do for work. I am a mom to two amazing kids, Grey and Nash. The life of a single toddler mom is hectic but a stage I know I will miss the most. Aside from being a mom and business woman, I love anything I can do creatively with my hands. Painting, playing guitar, hand lettering, etc. You can find me watching The Office or any 90's teen drama on repeat. I am a sucker for love and will work in weddings FOREVER!
