Artist/Designer/Crafter:
My name is Jennifer and I live in Dedham, MA. I love, love love creating my bags and have a minor twinge of sadness each time one sells, but I'm thrilled to be able to share my love of fabrics, textures, colors and patterns in a functional accessory for all to enjoy!

For many years I was the Director of Operations and COO for a company that provided services for children with special needs specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorders. We ran early intervention, home-based services and summer camp programs and founded a Department of Education approved special needs school that I'm proud to say is thriving and continuing to serve this special needs population.

I took the plunge several years ago to make a go of it with Gracie's Gunnies and am now in my 5th year and loving every minute of it.

Regardless of my occupation, I have always been involved in creative endeavors such as photography and playing bass in a 3-piece band that I've played with for over 20 years, The Nervous Stars. Now, creating beautiful bags full-time has become another way for me to be creative in a very hands-on and constructive way all day-every day and I'm loving it!
