About Me

Hi, I’m Grace.

I help students and families navigate the art and design school admissions process with more clarity and less stress.

I began my own journey in high school, applying to art programs with a focus on traditional art and illustration. I studied at Sheridan Institute of Technology before shifting to graphic design, eventually earning my BFA from USC. I then pursued a Master’s in industrial design. I’ve applied to schools across the US, Canada, and Europe, building essays, portfolios, and personal statements for each one.

I’ve worked with high school students since 2016, first as an ice skating coach and later as a tutor for AP courses, SAT/ACT prep, and AP exams. Supporting students as they grow and reach their goals is something I’ve always loved.

I understand every part of the application process, and I’m here to help you and your students move through it with confidence.
